Got the electric hood opener mocked up today. I want to see what I needed to do for brackets and such. I figured I could get the holes where they needed to be and then I can have some "real" billet pieces made up and polished.
This is slick.....Dakota Digital 8" electric linear actuator. I have gotten rid of the normal male and female hood latches and will use the electric motor to raise, lower and hold the hold in place. I need to figure out some rubber cushions for the ends to press against, but I am thinking that I can get away with the normal hood seal at the end, at least that will be my first thought and try.
Here it is....
