      The information contained in this Amendment No. 2 supplements and amends 
the information contained in the following Item of the Schedule 13D dated 
July 7, 1989, as previously amended.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

      As of December 31, 1993, the Reporting Person beneficially owned 1,801,852
shares of the common stock, $.01 par value, of TriMas Corporation 
(the "Issuer"), of which (i) 1,768,844 shares were held directly, (ii) 31,008
shares were owned by the Alex and Marie Manoogian Foundation,  a charitable
foundation of which the Reporting Person is a director, and (iii) 2,000 shares
were owned by the Richard and Jane Manoogian Foundation, charitable foundation 
of which the Reporting Person is a director.  To the best of his knowledge and
based on the number of shares of common stock of the Issuer believed to be
outstanding, as of December 31, 1993 the Reporting Person may be deemed to be 
the beneficial owner of 4.9 percent of the common stock of the Issuer.

      The Reporting Person has the sole power to vote and dispose of the shares
described in clause (i) above and shares with the other directors the power to
vote or direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition of the shares 
described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above.  The reporting person, Alex Manoogian
(Chairman Emeritus of Masco Corporation), Christine Simone and Louise M. Simone
are the directors of the Foundation described in clause (ii) above, and the
Reporting Person, Eugene A. Gargaro, Jr. and Jane Manoogian are the directors of
the Foundation described in clause (iii) above, and all of the directors have a
business address of 21001 Van Born Road, Taylor, Michigan  48180.  To the
knowledge of the Reporting Person, none of the directors of the Foundations has
been convicted in a criminal proceeding nor have they been a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction
resulting in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, 
or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities
laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.  They are all citizens 
of the United States of America.

      The Reporting Person disclaims any beneficial ownership or interest
whatsoever in the shares described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, and the 
filing of this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an
admission that he is the beneficial owner of such shares.
