I'm considering installing a rear PORSCHE reflector on my '72 and need some advice/opinions on what type of trunk release to use. I know that most use the electric soleniod but I have also read of people using some type of cable set up. Can someone tell me more on the cable method with some photos?
Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif) |

I installed a cable-released PORSCHE reflector in my first 914 (as described above, release handle is in cabin by engine lid release) and it worked great every time. When drilling for the mounting holes measure about 14 times, then drill once (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I have all the parts and plan on installing it on my new 914 some day... |
