Topic: DECK LID POPPER

[Chromeazone]

I set up my trunk lid with a Speedway Solenoid and it works O.K.
I want the lid to POP open, but solenoid just pulls latch, right? Lid just opens about 3/4", so I brought a couple of the SPRING poppers available on eBay, Moon,etc.
I know they will work I just have to locate one. Any suggestions?
Looks like I will have to fab a bracket for mounting.
Rod is a '51 Ford.
Thanks!

first, does it, or will it have a rubber seal around it? reason I ask is that those change the "pop"
down at the bottom for the pipers should give em enough pop, and won't fold the trunk when ya shut it.

[Chromeazone]

BINGO! I forgot all about the additional thickness of the seal!!
There is NO seal there now. It was all rotten & crumbled, so I just scrapped away the little pieces.
I can see (imagine) where a new seal will spring the lid better, and all the way around.
Good one! Thanks Obama.

You all is welcome Chromeazone,
still may want the popper (s) but after the seal is in you'll have a better idea where to set em' hight wise.

Just thought of someth'n more, is the battery going to be in the trunk, if so an hidden emergency cable is a good idea, or access from behind the seat, have a backup plan.

Battery is not in trunk (up front-stock location). Thanks for suggestion on back up pull cable.
Yes, I did that.
It added a couple more hours to project, but I read that suggestion in an old rod magazine.
I hate to admit I am getting lazy, but thought about consequences if battery went low or solenoid pull cable got out of adjustment, and went ahead and added  back up pull cable.
No regrets - Thanks again.
