Anybody got a Vento?

I'm confused. Are you trying to have it so that it will pop when the central locking is still "locked"?

No!

Believe he has shortened the plate recess so wouldn't fit

Yep! By about 50mm either side, but the recess is still the same size for a standard number plate.
The sides are now vertical if you like or at 90 degrees to the flat metal of the plate recess.

mk2 boot lock button works in a similar way, though there may be some differneces in the linkages which might work to your advantage

iirc the mk2 button is narrower though thats the only thing, so a bit of metalwork to the hole so the mk2 buttn fits

[Len]

Looking at how it goes into the body metal on the link MrAnderson posted  they must create an outer sleeve or something to change the angle.
And that sits at approx 45 degrees, so the connecting rods are longer.

Thanks for your help as usual John.
I'll find a way of doing it somehow!

SORTED!

Well nearly!

Photos and explaination in my Project Thread but basically can turn the latch enough to make it work and bending the connecting rod and extending the other it will work and fit under the new metal plate!
