Does any one have any pictures of the parts inside the nose cone that make the head lights open and shut ?
These are the next bits I need to round up for my project
What does the hinge part look like and where abouts does it mount ?
not really a hinge its a Pivot and then the big bucket behind
Asked that question at Stinger they said a 4 inch acuator will work

As I've said for many years, don't waste your time with the fiberglass buckets/pivots if your looking for long term reliability and consistent function, spend the money for steel components in this area, you could retrofit the linear activators instead of the factory style vacuum pod, you'll need to engineer and fabricate the necessary brackets/linkage/bell cranks to achieve the desired travel, the linear lifts are more stable to avoid the bounce at night time driving that is associated with the factory vacuum set up if done properly
Here's some pics to help with your research

I like the way the vacuum opens the 69 Charger doors one side then the other
Gives it a little character
I would like to use vacuum on the Daytona doors for the same reason
Thanks for the pictures
I am in head light to
Me 3, not too sure what we can do, my bucket are fiberglass. Wish there was a kit, they sell every other part of the front cone :shruggy:
I bought a pair of headlight buckets and pivot brackets last year at Carlisle They were steel reproductions from Rick Fairless. Nice pieces,but they cost $1200.00.
