Okay well, I got my motors in, but have a slight problem, as you can see in the video below, the headlight will go from all the way down, to up but its not quite fully up. then when i put the other trigger on it will go just a little up and then go back all the way down. im assuming this is just adjustment in the rod length? Does anyone know what i need to do to get them to both work the right way? Both sides do this, but the pass side is worse than the driver side.
Cycle the motor so the headlight is in the up position. Now loosen the bolt on the arm, and rotate the arm so that the light is all the way up. It shouldn't be more than a spline or two at the most. Retighten the arm and test it again. I had the same issue and that fixed it. If that doesn't correct the issue, you may need to adjust the length on the rods a half or whole turn. Let us know how it works.
Just an FYI but Timberwolf over on the other forum that will not allow this stuff has some Pre Made Brackets for Cheap. I think he said he had 6 sets left of Steel.
But if enough people want them in Stainless he can also have those laser cut.
I have not been around the forums much for awhile but I can see that the other forum is now much worse than before. So I think I will posting here more often.
I am sorry his actual Forum Member Name is TimberwolfFXDL
And the Steel Brackets are I think $19.00 per set mailed. I mean if you really wish to make your own great. But if one can not do so or does now wish to run around to get the stuff to make them with then this is a good option in my opinion.
I have no connection with the person that is selling them to help others except for the fact that I ordered a set. Should have them in a few days.
Here is a picture of the Brackets from TimberwolfFXDL you will note the elongated Laser cut holes of which are a guide line for the bend.
Those brackets were made from my file, so they should work good with the Probe motors. If you are using Miata motors, they may need some tweaking. Just an FYI. If I hadn't already made my own, I'd have ordered a set.
Drawmain that is good to know. And Thank You for the help that you have given. And I am also happy that it has made it onto this Forum so that it can be enjoyed without the SS jumping in.
Not odd at all. Being visible makes them something that can or could be dressed up. I was thinking stainless or aluminum, since both can be polished without the tremendous cost of chroming. Neither rust and will look great. I with you. :thumbsup:
If anyone here in san antonio cough jester cough would like to give me a hand I'd love to do the conversion, as they are right now I have to open and close them manually and am not looking forward to troubleshooting this
I should have a quote today for prebent brackets in stainless steel 16ga. If anyone thinks we need something thicker, let me know and I will have it quoted as well.
Looks like I can do a run in stainless steel, prebent for about $30 per pair. Need to have 20 pair sold though to get that pricing due to shop minimums
