I am building a fiber glass tilt front that operates on hydraulics,and need a locking device that once the hood has been sucked up home to the fire wall,it will not allow the hood to migrate slowing open (only a 1/2" )but requires that I constantly bump the hyd. to bring it back home...I want to develop a lock that will sense the position ,then screw motor type locking and hold until electrically released.....thanks for any ideas---norm
Caddy's from the 70's or 80's had a easy close trunk latch. push it down, the latch would grab the lid, and slowly pull it all the way down and lock. use one on each side.
thats all I want to do ---hold it closed,when it opens it has a chain stop to hold it at the end of the cyliner stroke,(also over top dead center)I am not sure I understand the piping required to do this with 1-valve---can you make me a sketch and e-mail me---thanx nbroshous@yahoo.com
I have deceided to purssue something in the solenoid type release,the hyd. lock will put pressure on the cyl or system all the time and that concerns me ( mid 80s gm conv,pump and cyl...thanks norm
