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 |

How hard would it be to do a vacuum power lock?
Almost every old watercooled VW has a power lock vacuum pump in the trunk. |
