The video was before i installed vacuum pods. after i installed them they act like shocks and slow the closing movement! :2thumbs:
I used the method i saw on this board using the porsche motor, made my own design for actuators took some playing around but works PERFECT! Ill take another video with pods installed to show how they make it all run smoother!

Ha, based on your work so far, I don't think anyone isn't intentionally saying otherwise.
You're doing a great job keep it up.

Regarding the gaskets , I'll let the experts chime in...

Good job  :2thumbs:  I'd like to see the video from the back side so I could compare it to my Porsche motor setup to see if there is any improvements I could do to it.  What year motor did you end up getting?

randr

here is video from back side, fairly simple design! also new video from front with pods installed to show how they slow downward movement down...
