Air grabber actuator

Post by mopar71 » Tue Jan 15, 2008 8:41 am

I just got my catalog for PG classic and was wondering if someone here has a pic of the air grabber actuator that they can email me or post.I want to see how close it is to the one they sell.
Thanks

NOS actuator, most original brackets are black, not brite plated

IMHO the PG Classics ones have the wrong shape (too rounded/barrel shaped)

I second that. His reproduction A/G stuff is much closer to original than parts PG makes. Unfortunately he doesn't repro the actuator....he does rebuild them though
