Are you referring too the bracket that’s attached to the motor? (bottom arrow). Or the adjustable eye bolt (top arrow)? I adjusted the top one, even cut it to shorten it so there is less travel hoping to shorten it opening. But when I did it, I guess the rotation was limited not allowing the bracket (bottom arrow) rotate at a full spin. Maybe I did it too short. Please confirm which one to work with. Thank bro
The lower bracket- changing the length of the rod will not shorten the throw- total movement
The other issue you might run into is that motor does not reverse- it continues around in a complete circle-
requiring more clearance for it's movement.
I use a motor that goes 180º and then reverses-
This was one of the best original abominations to the vettes headlights- back in the day-
And looking at this- Ford GT- just not a fan of the small LED light bars-
If I was going to mess with it- I'd do something like this- "Jewel " headlights from Acura-

Here’s a video. It goes the full 360 when closing. But when opening it lands right where I wanted it. 👍
