I have been trying to get some sort of a latch mechanism for the tailgate that could be operated remotely, so after many different designs this is what i have come up with.
And a couple of quick videos to show it in operation. Sorry about the quality, i was forced to use my phone.
I am using a servo tester to operate it at the moment so it is a bit slow.
