[VintageLambo] Espada window motor

Author: docmirror

Message

Guys, I spent my day taking apart the drivers door panel for redye, and checking out my window circuit. I found several frozen pullies, and a mess. The worst part was the mtor which drew +9 amps with no load. The shaft is too tight and I need to replace the motors or have them rebuilt. If anyone has some motors, or alternately knows the make and model of the motor, I would be grateful for a little help. Also, one of my Ducellier switches is cracked. I"ve superglued it back together but I"d like to replace that too. It has a center off, and spring loaded both way throw with 4 connectors. I"m not satified with the foam brush and sponge method for the redye, so I"ll be using an airbrush for a final coat. I have a cheap model that I"ve used before for detail work. one of the keys to success is using lots of the rejuvinator oil, which isn"t really an oil. I took off the old dye with the laquer thinner, then used rejuvinator several times. The more you use, the smoother the leather becomes. Then I use the prep agent just before rredye. The leather stays soft, and takes the dye well. Doc
