Rear e-locker - out of options!

[asutherland]

Well, $80 later... Brian Roberts Electric tried, but was unable to fix it. Apparently the amature is past repairable

Now I will have to replace the whole unit. F@CK!

Does anyone have a lead on a used one I can get for a reasonable price?

Have you used them before Glenn? $250 seems exceptionally cheap compared to other places.

LMAO.... Just busting your b*lls bro. Glen's link looks promising.

 

[Glenn-BJ74]

try CruiserDan
1 - 800 - 432 -6668
probably $650

 

[asutherland]

It's $875 (new) from the local shop Rocky Mountain Imports and Radd Cruisers. I can't afford that!

 

[Glenn-BJ74]

Maybe get a few more opinons on the amature being 'beyond repairable'

 

[asutherland]

I spoke with Bob's Motor Electric (again referred by someone on mud), explained what Brian Roberts told me, and got basically the same answer.

Brian Roberts said it MAY be possible for some company in Ontario to repair it, but they'd have to ship it off for 2 weeks. I can live with that if it works, but... there's no gaurentee that it will work when I get it back.

get a cable from Downey conversion. Its the way to go, a friend had the same thing on his 4runner, he said $150.

you mean something in an 80 that isn't push button?


( I was going to suggest a string tied to the actuator....)

Hey andrew give me a shout... I'd think if you could do it with a cable I can rig you up some sort of linear actuator... I used to work for a company that designed them... Then you'd still have that button :flipoff:

I 2nd the string! 80's have too many buttons az it is. Use the empty button space for something more useful..... Like a Flux Capacitor.

I dunno, think his 80 would get up to 88mph?

never mind whether his alternator could produce 1.21 gigawatts....

I vote Espresso machine in that spot. More practical.

 

[wombat]

I vote for some sort of push button devise that fires photon torpedoes at anyone that cuts you off or the odd J%*p that high centers in front of you.

 

[asutherland]

Agreed with both Ryan and Vern. THe expresso machine would go really well with my fridge / ice maker console. But photon torpedoes would be the best IMHO. I'm sure we could wire something up.

I have a sale pending on a whole replacement actuator unit from a guy here in mud. Confirmed working. $375 shipped

...cloaking device??!!...
