Is anyone making a kit like the one Mr. Bland was making before he passed? My car already has a reflector and solenoid kit installed but of course it's iffy and requires two people when it does work (to depress the trunk lid). Or maybe have a list of components or some instructions for anything like it?
Figured after finishing up brakes this weekend *fingers crossed* I should make sure the rear trunk works since I've got a road trip planned with it in a few months. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...f=4&t=17486 |

Alright well I couldn't see any way to adjust the solenoid, lever, or bracket on mine. I got a 10foot pull cable (took much searching as no bike cables are that long!) on the way as well as some fittings for it, all available from amazon. Then I'll fab up a new bracket for the latch end to utilize the cable instead of the solenoid.
I'd much rather the security of releasing the trunk from the cabin vs a cable dangling under the car. I'll try to get lots of photos and do up a thread detailing the build so other people can do it too if they want. If anyone has photos of where things go inside the car on the Engman kit or photos of the templates that would be much appreciated. |
