[DeTomaso] headlight rings/brakes

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

I doubt that the actuation goes via hydraulics. A: Because it violates the basic concept required by most road safety organisations and B: Because the hydraulic cushion would have to be closed off from the master cylinder along the brake line. In any case I'm very curious and look forward to your update!
