Ball-screw type trunk openers.
Has anyone had experience with the aftermarket electric trunk openers?---not the latch mechanism, but the ball-screw type opener with the electric motor on it. I am seriously thinking of putting a tonneau cover on the roadster pickup this winter, and will most likely use a peice of 3/4" marine plywood, upholstered in the same fabric as is on my convertible top. I will support it on and hinge it from an aluminum flat-bar perimeter frame that attaches to the inside of my pickup bed with 2 stainless bolts thru each side of the box. Now, since my gas-tank is in there, I have to access it fairly often, and I think one of those electric trunk openers would work great. I did this years ago on an old Datsun pickup that I had tricked out (yes, I had a mini-truck phase too). I used a pair of hydraulic top rams and powerpack from an old convertible. It worked great, but was very slow.Old guy hot rodder
