Hey all,
I just recieved my power window kit today and figured that I would post pics of my install/trial so you all could make up your mind if you wanted to get the inexpensive universal kits from ebay. If this install and action is successful I will have one kit available for sale with everything you need, but lets see how it works first. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (I am not at my home computer so I can not post the pics yet...I will post one of the install tonight when I get home) |

I thought that I would add some contrast in kits and prices. All ofthe universal kits come with the same adaptors and such. the main difference is the design adn in some kits the possibly the power.
If you do a search for SPAL kits on the net or ebay you will get many hits with varried prices and extras like switches and such. Here is one with two motor options and without switches: http://www.commandoalarms.com/itmidx3.htm And another of the same variety: http://www.autodax.com/products/powerwindow/spal-2.htm These are by no means the cheapest suppliers of these kits as I have seen them for less. Just to let you know that they are out there. Other brands may go for less (like the one I bought). SPAL is the name brand in power window conversion kits so they are usually more. I have heard no complaints about the SPAL, but lets see what the competition has to offer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |
