Hi Elanman68
I see you are in the UK. Can you advise which motor you used with this conversion. Many thanks

Butting in here, see my post in here viewtopic.php?f=33&t=49525&p=376983, it gives the part numbers that I used. Since posting, I have now fitted Michael's adaptor kits and I can report that fitting was simple and that they work perfectly.

Having seen that sourcing the correct motors in the UK was ‘challenging’ I asked Michael to supply the motors as well as the fitting kit which he did.

hello Johan,

Yes I have kits & motors in stock. Send me a PM for complete costing. I would need a shipping address to get a shipping quote and whether or not you want to get the motors on your own or thru me. Kits are $220 US and have all the parts for both doors.

The conversion works flawless, very happy with it. I you don’t want to buy the motors from the vendor, they are available online in Europe for very, very reasonable €. It got the motors within 3 days from ordering.

I fitted these kits to my Sprint. Perfect fit, very well made and much lighter. No more motor rattle from the passenger side. A great upgrade.

cheers
