Interesting door handles

without having installed a set in anything yet (almost put them in my 36). i can't say exactly how the originals worked, but would assume if linkage couldn't be easily fabricated to adapt them to mustang latches that a remote solenoid system could easily be used. you could fabricate a plate with a waterproof pin switch behind the button that would trigger the solenoid each time the button was pushed. wouldn't think a door assist spring would be needed if the original latches were retained. i've installed numerous sets of remotes etc. when suiciding doors & only 1 or 2 times has there been a need to add a door pusher, usually when a door has required ALOT of work to fit the car. in my experience, the door pushers usually put too much preload on the latch, causing problems with the latches binding against the strikers & make the doors hard to open.
