Have you seen Mr Tee's handbrake boot thread? It took a brief excursion into boot release! Golf apparently. The business end isn't shown but I expect that could be arranged!

Bumper sticker - This is an historic vehicle and only has three speeds....... if you don't like this one you sure as hell won't like the others.
Indeed, your wish is my command! Ford generic catch with a side pull!

i've used cheap rally design fire system cables for boot release a few times. they have a 't' handle and come in 6 foot or 12 foot lengths which can of course be cut down to suit. as above ford used side pull boot catches so easy enough to get.
neil.
Have a look at the bearclaw latches people like CBS sell very compact

Agreed on the Ford latch, I've used them on 4 cars, with either bonnet/boot pull cables or solenoids (Escort/Orion) off anything in the scrap yards (when you were allowed to walk around!) - build a bit of adjustment in the mounting to allow for panel mis-alignment
Thank you sir
