Rotating grill

Hi, i want to ask if any of you has a rotating grill installed.
If possible to provide pics so i can see how it is connected?
Thanks

It is a bit visible how it is done in the parts catalogue. See also here:

No this is not helping at all.
The parts catalog shows only whats exactly is the title....only the parts!
I want somebody who has really connected the grill to show me with pics from his car how it is done.
So i can do it by myself.
If it was a temperature valve like the radiator i could of course do it by my self and there would be no need to ask. But it works with pressure and thats why its a little difficult for me.

The grill is flipped by a thermostatic actuator. The lower radiator hose has a steel pipe in it with 2 small pipe take offs in the GT Apex model
Look for the box in this link

These are piped to the thermostatic acuator in this link

My friend has an '83 GT Apex and his grill never worked automatically but you can flip it manually. I must get him to test it off the car with hot water.

Just like jdm86gtz says: it is operated by a thermostatic actuator (53107A) that opens up the grille once the temperature is above a certain threshold. AFAIK it only opens when the car is driven hard
