Clamshell Secondary Latch Release Bar

NorthwoodGT · Sep 7, 2017

I know this is an old subject but for those newer GT owners, it's worth repeating.
shown on my red car is a custom made secondary latch release bar sold by Rich Brooks at the GT Guy LLC.
this takes the stretching out of the process for us old guys of reaching the far side release latch on the clamshell.
pop the handle on the roof to open the clamshell and reach in and push down on the bar and it opens both sides
at the same time. super easy to install. shows off good on my red car because my clamshell is painted body color
on the bottom side. you get the bar and 2 new billet secondary latches.
A must have! call Rich at the GT Guy LLC

Easily one of the best Mods for the GT!! A must have unless you have a 7 foot wingspan.

Gentlemen,

I've used one of these for many years. An excellent design that looks and works great.

Great mod, I'll need to get one

I got the first one! I begged the GT guys for this.As a short guy, the stock 2 latch system was impossible.
The otrher mod that rich made for me was the seat lever bar. It has upside down u shape in it so you can easily reach it to slide the seat back.Yes as a short guy I slide the seat back to get out and also not to damage the side bolster

What is this, 1980?! I'll flip through my rolodex and dial him up on my rotary landline so that I can send him a check via snail mail, est delivery 6-8 weeks. :lol

Where's the click-to-buy link? :biggrin

I am neither tall, dark, nor handsome.
This mod will help with at least one of my issues.
I also like the idea of a seat adjustment attachment

2112 · Sep 9, 2017

Are the seat adjustment extenders still available?

roketman · Sep 9, 2017

I'm sure anything is possible!
Your best method is to email
The cool part was Rich didn't tell me about the the seat lever!
It was a a very pleasant surprise!
Oh ya short guys rule!
Maybe not rule, but are fast on the track!

Does anyone know how to get a hold of Rich the FGT guy? I've left voice messages and texts but with absolutely no reply.
Does anyone else have these secondary latches?
