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! |

QUOTE to bring 'em back down you'll need either a heck of a long pull or be pretty darn strong or have some tricky leverages Cams are good for that... Run the cable around a wheel with the right shape and pivot so it pulls with power first, then faster once past the point where the shocks aren't resisting as much to shorten the throw. Cool stuff! I love seeing new projects. |
