    WTB: Door Solenoids

     



    I just bought a shaved door kit but have no solenoids with the kit. Anyone have some layin around from a junked car or previous project? Or perhaps know where I can buy them locally. I just installed bear claw hinges so the pull doens't have to be that hard at all.

    I've bought a few sets off Ebay They only run about 10 bucks a set for the lite ones they've all worked fine
    Why wasn't there any in the kit? That seems strange to me

    He bought the kit but only needed the solenoids. So I got a $200 set for $65. I can't find any of the $10 solenoids as of late. But there might be a group comin through soon. They come and go. I'm hopin to get probably 3-4 if someone has junk ones sitting around for cheap. Just in case they burn out.

    Yeah thats what I've been using put some on a 76 Bronco and on a new Malbiu and they worked well..... as long as the latch works fairly easy they pull around 15-20lbs
