    Does anyone know of someone who can rebuild the hideaway headlight vacuum actuators for my '69 Riviera? They do not hold vacuum.

    Go and buy a set of 69 camaro vacuum actuators and tig weld 1/4-20 rod to the end of the actuator rod. They work perfectly. Use your originals as a template

    There are no "motors" on a 68/69 riviera. They operate on vacuum. The camaro actuators work very well.

    Yes, I know they are not actual motors, that's why I put it in quotes. I have heard these called "motors" by more than one parts guy.

    No way to rebuild them either
