Help with door poppers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking to keep the manual inside the door handles yet still use the door poppers for my shaved doors. (don't want to fill the inside chrome door panels) The problem is pulling straight out @ the door latch. So I am looking for a NLT 1" pulley I can mount on the door that can run a 1/16" cable 90 degree lower in the door. Figured I could connect the cable to the rod that goes to the inside door release. Or some other ideas as to what folks have used. Pic's would help. Any ideas?

The only experience I've had with solenoids and the like was on my '01 Dakota R/T. I was able to set it up not using a pulley. I haven't noticed whether or not the inside and outside actions work together on our trucks. The R/T didn't so it wasn't a problem. If at all possible mount the solenoids "upside down" and use a extra pulley or 2 with cable keepers you make up....Mikey

Go down to any hardware store and start looking at replacement pullies for sliding glass doors. I used them in several different applications and they make finding the right geometry a breeze.
