There are some problems using LR switches. Firstly they are hard to mount, since they stand a long way proud of the surface they clip to (the mountings in the dash are recessed quite a lot). Secondly it seems that the only way to get connectors to fit the switches is to cut them off a scrapper - the connector housings don't seem to be available anywhere (the contact inserts are available, but they are fantastically difficult to extract from the shell, even with pro tools, so it is easier to use the tails from the donor vehicle harness). |

Can the front motors be adapted to fit the rear doors?
Thanks |

It would be exceptionally difficult since the front and rear lift mechanisms are so dissimilar.

hi
link to video of a universal winding part as used during this thread. How are you guys keeping up with it? i think i will give it a try at 40ish gbp. I am not a very rich guy :\ plenty of related videos but this seems to be great for helping with installation. Issue is where to put switches as i dont want to mess with door cards. |

hi. just installed mine after a lot of delays and rust cutting and proofing second row doors. Motors are quite strong and on the way up they are fast and once closed they can buckle slightly the support where the winding mechanism is bolted. i do not think the motor can be adjusted (maybe adding a resistor in the system). i just close and quickly press open till it releases the pressure.
installed switches on the middle front seat. reachable and easy to use without butchering the front dash. power is through a fuse via an auxiliary fuse box (power is on via ignition key). I still would like to install a push switch in dash to be able to cut off the power to the system while on drive (just in case there are kids in the back) |

As some of the links are now dead, I assume i’m Looking at the kit from Defenderupgrades now that comes with a box and switches added.
I’d ideally like the switches in the door cards though like Andy did on the LS3 with an option for the front somewhere too. Does anyone have any info of the mod needed to add the switches (calling or other) to the door cards? Malteserover I’m assuming your middle front seat is my cubby box. Ideally i’d Keep this clean, but may have to go the basic option if the cards and front are too much of a pain. Also the £40 kids from fleabar seem to have vanished and are now up near 200 notes. Andy! And chance tou’re Doing the mod to your new project? If so i’d Like to jump on your band wagon and do the same if tou’re Fabricating bits. |

I used the kit that is now sold by Foundry 4x4, Defender Upgrades, etc., although I bought it direct from the manufacturer. It is an excellent kit which fits with no drilling or structural mods to the door.

Let us know if and when you have that kit available. 👍
Control switch on door card option like any car produced in the last 20 years. 🙄 |
