Gauging interest in a Group buy for a GT Mechanical headlight Kit , it would be fabricated from Original GT parts. As soon as I have an idea on how many are interested the vendor can come up wiyh a cost, thanks.

I have no idea what it looks like. Sounds like it will make my car go faster so I think I am in.
Question is what is the $$$ per Pound.

I would be interested depending on price ($300-$400 would be cool, $600+ would not).

Please elaborate on the advantages of a GT style kit. Is it just for the cool factor? or for those looking to precisely replicate a factory GT? or shave a few ounces? AFAIK, there aren't any issues with the stock headlight motor/relay/mechanisms are there?
TIA

Well the head light stuff has worked well for my car. being 36 1/2 years old I'd say that pretty good.
But I am looking to lose the motors and stuff to cut pound not ounces.

It does shave weight about 8lbs. per motor, and of course it all about the GT cool factor

purely weight savings...

no motors.. just a "strut" and cable setup

This is the GT kit that was recently up for bid on German Ebay.
Bidding began at 250. euros and ended at 550. euros

In for the $200-400 range

I'm very interested in a kit. Only for the cool factor though.

Count me in for a set. How long?

I would also be interested if the price is in the 200-300 range delivered.

As soon as I get a count on how many kits we need I will be able to give everyone the cost and delivery time.

Very very interested here! Have been looking for a kit for more than a year. I have been talking to aircooledracing for at least a year, they have said many times they are going to make a kit, still waiting. If you have source, great!! Put me on the list.

interested in a sub $300 kit

I am interested as well for a sub 300 kit.

2 (TWO) Please...FYI, these do not close your lights after you open them...that was for the pit crew (not included).

I'm in for a sub $300.00 set

Time Frame?

Does anyone have a picture of the pull mechanism mounted in a GT?

I can snap one of my car...just too dark out right now to get a good look at it...will try to add one here tomorrow.

Any luck on those pictures Pete?

Would also be in for a $200-300 kit — if the quality is top-notch.

Also curious about how well the setup will weather repeated usage over the years... factory looked at 914-6 GTs as disposable cars (much like all of their race cars, then and now).

Maybe I need to research these more.

But I am still VERY interested. Also, can anyone confirm the weight savings?

There is a ton of pic's here:
http://www.pbase.com/9146gt/gt_mechanical_headlight_raisers

The link has the mechanical parts but no pictures of the pull mounting location inside the drivers compartment.

I am guessing it is the pull in this picture that is to the right of the ?hazard lights and tho the left of the ign switch. But I dont know for sure.

pull knob can be anywhere ,most came through were the trunk pull was, as GT didnt use the trunk release.

Tangerine scream dash mounted pull;

cool thank you!

i'm interested, sub $300.

thanks

I may also be interested, so keep me in mind.

Does this kit eliminate the headlight switch?

Ed aka w9r1

Jeff, Does your GT use this pull system?

I am in for one... Sub $300 please

Yes

I would buy another;

No you still need to turn em on.

Count me in for two - if these are in the $2-300 range.

Thank you!

I'd take one in the ~$250 range.

SMD

I would also be interested in one in the $200-$300 range

I am definetly interested. Please add me to your group buy follow-up list.

I'm in. Let me know.

Yep, interested here too But of a bummer being in the UK though

Perhaps a club shop with deposits is a good idea to sort the numbers? I suppose it'd mean a lot of responsibility for one guy (or girl ) though.

Let me know, I'm interested

I'm in for a set.

I'd be interested in 1 or 2 sets.

I'd be interested also,as long as cost is Reasonable.
