Hammer to fit. Paint to match.  Group: Members Posts: 353 Joined: 20-May 03 From: East Peoria, Illinois Member No.: 713 Region Association: None  |
Anyone have any good pics or info on how the 914 GT headlight mechanism (with the cable release) worked? I'd like to come up with something similar for my car if it's not too difficult. I have an idea of how I could fabricate the lift mechanism - I just wonder how they fastened back down when closed.
Thanks in advance for any help! |

how hard is each headlight to push down with those 2 gas shocks and where did you get the gas shocks?...and what's the part number and how much $$, thanks
I have a plan where I use the same shock set up as that, but instead of just a quick pull release, I can have a cable mechanism to pull the headlights down (still using a splitter like that) and then have it lock somewhere...maybe take a lawn mower pull start handle and connect it to the cable in the cock pit near your knees kinda and have it where you pull on that to close the lights and have it hook around something higher up on the dash...and to release the lights you just release the cable and let the shocks do the work |
