Guys , im a new guy on here from australia, and ive just imported a 69 RS clone. Ive found it has no motors behind the headlights , A friend told me they sell an electric motor kit for these instead of the vacuum set up. Can anyone tell me about these ? or is the vacuum setup the go?. I need all the bits to get them working. Gavin in Oz

There wern't any motors on them originally except on 67s. The vacume actuator should be under the inner fender in front of the tire. Most likley was a standard front end car and hidaways were added. If you want a clean non original working settup check out Detroit speeds electric conversion setup.

Ricks sells the electric headlight conversion. Prety simple addition. They also sell the wiring harness to go with it.

Rick's, Year One, Firewheel all sell the DSE kit to make them electric. That's the way to go IMO.

Hi Angel , the car came from california and was registered until october this year. I do have his rego papers and will try to make contact with him , it has a new crate engine and box and id like to work out exactly what i have. Talking in Australian dollars it cost me $35 grand to buy and get home and $10 grand to convert to right hand hook. How do i post pics on here? thru photobucket or ?

69 clone 350 /350 . big plans in Oz'

Go to the forum for electrical and wiring. There is a post there for RS headlight door conversion. The link in thread BPOS are very similar to those that I did. The extra rigging that they show is different from mine. Bellcranks are directly driven by the motors that they are using. I have photos that I can make copies of and instructions. PMme. Either way it's a slick set up and if a motor takes a dump on you when your out. There is a manual knob on the motors to open and close the headlight doors. The motors you can get at the salvage yard. I don't know what the other kits cost. But I had maybe $100 in it, can't remember for sure. Whatever you can get the motors for and a switch from Radio Shack.
