Today I put together a basic configuration for opening/closing the headlight doors. I used a 1.75" long piece of steel tubing fastened to the bottom of the actuator and that piece was then attached to the same location that the vacuum motor attaches to on the headlight bucket, I even used the same bolt. I attached the steel tube to the actuator using a 1/4" wide by 1" long roll pin. The two holes that need to be drilled into the 1.75" round tube are spaced at .8" at the center of the holes. The .8" distance needs to be shortened by .2", so the distance between is .6" for the next piece so that the head light door completely opens.
I made another fitting for the actuator. The piece is still 1.75" in length, the holes are centered at .70" for this piece. That was a .10" difference and didn't do much to open the headlight door. The next piece will have the holes centered from each other at .65"
