I have this weird problem. I have a Bugeye that I have had for years,
it runs and drives great but only gets used a few times a year. My
problem is raising the bonnet. Thanks to a COVID vaccine reaction I
lost my brachial plexus nerve in my right arm. So essentially I am
limited to the use of one arm (left) and one arm isn't enough, for me,
to raise the Bugeye bonnet. I can still use my other motor functions to
shift and drive the car fine. I am thinking that I need some sort of
device to attach to the ceiling to lift it up with mechanical assist. I
am resisting the temptation to just use a multi part block and tackle
with a loop around the chrome handle. My other thought is to tilt it
forward with a kit form somewhere, I think there are several out there.Â
I haven't ever used a forward tilt and not sure how much "lifting" is
needed? Â I can get help when I really need it but would rather be able
to do it my self on my schedule. Suggestions?
