What you need are motorized actuators, not heavy solenoids. They are inexpensive and readily available from places like: Dakota Digital 3412 Hovland Drive Sioux Falls, SD 57107 PH 800-852-3228 RB's Obsolete Auto Parts 7711 Lake Ballinger Way Edmonds, WA 98026 PH 800-426-6607 I've been using them for years for door openers and they work great. By the way, you don't have to wait for one of Grady's great kits if you are a do-it-yourselfer. This is a relatively easy conversion that has been addressed before in DMCNews. I can e-mail a how-to article to anyone who is interested. Darryl Tinnerstet Specialty Automotive 4 LaBelle Lane McCleary, WA 98557 PH: 360-495-4640 FAX: 360-495-4680
