has any one pulled off ther door handles and had a remote door poper???i've been asking around hot rod shops and auto shops but they dont know.i've been told you can use a central locking kit just put the lock ?thing? on to the door handle linkage???what can i use and where can i get it??$$

Most kits use Central locking remote and module but not the actuators as they arent strong enough. In their place the kits use solenoids like that on a starter motor.
If you want to remove the handles, you will still need to have a visually noticable means of opening the door from the outside. This is a registration requirement so that emergency services can easily enter your car if you are trapped in an accident.

You should be able to find the actuator kit here

andos did something like that... haven't seen him around lately...

here's some pics of his ute without handles:

Nice looking ute!

thanks phunkdoktaspok i had a look and they have what i want now i just got to get it from the USA some how., maybe some one in aus deals the same stuff

I do believe Australia has a peace treaty with the USA, so it shouldnt be too difficult to order it straight from Johnny Howards Uncle Sam.

You could also try locally and get some out of the bootlids of early commodores VK VL etc.

i used a piece of tube witha washer welded on the inside end of it for the guide and an overturned stainless welch plug for a flush mounted button with no handle, i think it looks good

no idea if this pic will work but see what happens

its a smoother look without the worry of door poppers but the ones out of commodores for the boot are mighty strong and there is a kit similar from jaycar
