many remember the posts big al (stray cat) had about taking a power window regulator and attaching it so his concealed headlight doors would open electrically.
well, he said it took 15 minutes. it probably took me 2 days! but i got it. hope these pictures make sense.
the first pic shows a unit a got from salvage. originally i planned on using the slider gizmo, but gave up on that. took up too much space.
here it is mounted under the car just to the rear of the front axle. attached one end of the wire to the existing cable. attached the other end to a spring to keep it tight and a bump stop to keep it from going too far.
hope this helps someone, because i thought it was a great idea. the old mechanical way is ridiculous. still working on where to mount the switch... big bob
