Duke Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Looks good. So the outer chrome piece, and the cylinder are both part of the honda part everyone is talking about? Any idea where to get these. Chelle made it sounds like they are rarer than hens teeth. I did notice that about the old GTO...heh heh drives the restoration folks nuts.

chelle Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Wow Speedracer, your pic is a lot nicer... my digital camera is a cheap one here's some pics of ours.. Internal mechanism started as a brick of aluminum Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Chelle... Email or PM me your mailing address. I'm sending you a digital camera (not an expensive one) but it will do better at close-ups than your current one. You have helped us all at more than the expense of one little camera. Wow Speedracer, your pic is a lot nicer... my digital camera is a cheap one Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Another callout for a line on the "handle" and "Buttons..." Can't find 'em anywhere... http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=11036&cat=500 Anyone have a clue or a lead on these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I checked http://www.car-part.com for yards that had the entire hatch assembly. I didnt call any of them, but a few showed up. Im also sorta on the hunt for a set. All the local pick-n-pulls seem to only have wagons show up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerrari GTO Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I've been trying find a pair since my last post on this thread but haven't had any luck. I guess I will go with the datsun handle and lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar240z Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 those look pretty similar to the engine cover handle on my 74 volkswagen beetle. maybe they could be made to work somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 The beetle ones are a bit larger, im sure they would work ok though. Bringing this thread back from the dead. Maybe I will find another one in 3 more months. The chrome isnt perfect, but it will be acceptable for my car. Again I dont have a GTO kit, but I love the way those latches look on the car.

Here comes trouble Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I went and grabbed a CVCC latch today and bought the steel stock to build the latch adapter for about 6 GtO's. I am still confused about the diagram but after the parts are cut.................................maybe this dyslexic brain can visulize. The Honda latch has a key lock in the push button which is the reason I prefer it over the stock handles. I just have this bias against electro things that that go thunk. i bought a complete 1984 Nissan Maxima with the L6 overdrive automatic tranny to put in my GTO. Hopefully this year I will make a showing and get something done on the GTO. I have some dual down draft webers and hope to get the car running again. and more Hopefully tomorrow i can come up with a 240 Z choke cables.3 into 2 exhaust headers, mechaical fuel pump at the junk yard and some other parts. I have these pants with some real big pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Trouble, Where did you grab the CVCC latch? A dealership? These seem impossible to find. If anyone here has a line on these or the VW ones, let me know where I can get them. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodboxer Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Are you talking about something similar to the shave handle kit? If so why not just use a remote to pop the door open. Eliminate the handle and the push button altogether. I shaved the door handles on my ZX. If you need more info let me know.V. what car did you shave the door handles? later bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 y not just use a hatch button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Ill keep my eyes out at the junkyard. After I find another for my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here comes trouble Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 The CVCC latch came from a junkyard in Springfield, Oregon and cost me $5.00............The wife tossed the last two I had. I carry the latest one in my pocket at all times ! I bought all the steel fabrication material in 4 foot lengths that cast just over $15.00. I cannot see the VW latch working since it has a hook catch on the end. The Honda has a straight rod to push the fabricated part in to release the door latch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here comes trouble Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I will attempt to document my fabrication of the Honda door latch modification. I almost have a clue to "almost" how it works and by the grace of Rube Goldberg....... I will find out as I fabricate the (@#%$^&&**(*^%$) gizmo latch. Here are two Honda latches in my Yahoo Photos to begin Notice the actuating rod on one latch and that is why the VW will not work because it is a short hook latch. And your on your own in the Yahoo photos.........the program was changed..I lost my Mozilla web browser and got stuck with Microcrap Internet Explosion again. Yahoo hijacked my ancient monitor and my actual viewing space is now 6" x9" People tell me that my windoww 98 is obselete.http://new.photos.yahoo.com/larryjohnson97438/album/576460762387538659 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here comes trouble Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I plan to fabricate the door latch and post pictures on Yahoo.photo.
