Are you looking for extra Power Sliding Door Motors or extra Window Motors? How about extra housing and gears?

Well, we have a few to spare.

ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TO A SCHOLARSHIP FUND FOR ONE OF OUR GRADUATION FIRST STUDENTS.

Here is what we have:

Window Motors:

We have motors that are similar (though not identical) to last year’s window motors. Basically, these are development motors that were orphaned by engineering changes. Rather than throw them out, we snagged them for our team.
The motors have the same connector as LAST year’s window motor and the same output gear as last year (the only difference in output shaft between this year and last year is that last year has a smaller face width). The performance should be identical to the motors in this year’s kit.
Cost: $50 each plus shipping and handling*

Tape Drive Housings, gears, drive blocks etc.

These parts are identical to the ones in the FIRST kit.
Complete set of window lift plastic parts (all that would be needed would be the tape, the channels & the motors to have a duplicate FIRST window lift system).
Cost: $50 per set plus shipping and handling*

Power Sliding Door Motors:

These motors are again development samples that were orphaned by engineering changes.

We have a very few of them that are identical to the ones in the kit.
Cost: $100 each plus shipping and handling*

We have many more similar but not identical motors. These diferences include opposite hand from motors in the kit, different manufacturer (Bosch) but same hand as the ones in the kit, and different manufacturer (Bosch) and opposite hand as the ones in the kit.
All motors have the same mounting pattern, the same output shaft and essentially the same performance as the motors in the kit. They make very good development motors as well as practice machine motors.
These ‘close cousin’ motors are priced to move at $75 each plus shipping and handling*.

We have a small number of these parts available. When they are gone, they are not likely to be replaced

Contact Mike Martus via e-mail ([email protected]) for details on where to send the check, who to make it out to, etc.

*$15 per order, more if next day shipping is required

P.S. All parts are sold ‘as is’

My name is Greg Topel and I emailed you earlier about the window motors. My team and I would really appreciate 2 more window motors, but two extra pairs would even be better. If you cannot sell me any motors, could you please let me know where I could find them. Thanks a lot for your time and I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you.
