I can think of a few ways it could be done, but I would have to get into it and really see what I could do. One possibility would be to have the pin able to be pulled straight down from where the actuator would connect at the point the current piston attaches. The cable could be mounted to pull a pin parallel to the roof's surface. Just a few thoughts since I haven't actually built one. Greg -----Original Message----- From: Marc A.

I don't see how a cable setup would work either. Truth is, once you start thinking about it there really is no point other than the "coolness" factor of maybe closing your doors by remote control. The current mechanical system used in the DeLorean is probably the safest method anyone could come up with even with more modern ideas available now. ------------------------ Yahoo!
