worked on my door solenoids today. The originals that came with the kit where to wimpy even after I doubled the length of the lever. So I went from 15lbs of pull to 30lbs and now am at 150 in-lbs. Shouldn't have a problem now.

bolted in the interconnect pivot piece.



both sides made




so in the end I have no cables to stretch on me and leave me stranded and all the heavy forces are contained within the latch so no bent sheet-metal.
