The wheel part is probably overkill, but the angle of the pull is weird so I wanted it to pull smoothly. Eventually I'll shrink wrap the black taped part. I have a Porsche reflector, but no solenoid. This pull works fine, and is hidden unless you get up under the car.

Personally, I don't like the rear reflectors. To me, they don't fit the spirit of a 914.
But if I were going to do one, I would put a tube from the latch around into the engine compartment, and put a knob on there like the one on the engine lid release. To get in the rear trunk, open the engine compartment and pull the knob for the rear trunk. Use the parts from the front trunk of a donor car and you can lock the trunk too. No fooling around with a stainless steel wire that has spent hours hanging next to the hot exhaust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pinch.gif) |

I do like the idea of the emergency trunk release in the engine compartment. I will eyeball that for a bit. |
