Remote trunk release problems with Shelby style decklid
I have the shelby style decklid for my 66 fastback and wanted to shave the lock on it so I ordered the remote trunk release. I have the release run all the way and notched the decklid for the trunk latch. I put a hole in the bottom of the decklid to run the mechanism through. All good so far but when I hook it up to the latch it will not pull it far enough to release. It seems like it pulls it kind of up instead of over but the way the decklid bolt holes are built up it can not pull it straight over like it needs. Does anyone have any pointers to get it to release and some pics of theres installed on a shelby decklid or standard. The instructions are terrible but it is pretty dummy proof, I THOUGHT!!! PLease help this is one of the last things holding up my body work!!!
Thanks
