I've done it and have all the parts you need to do it. Very easy, except for pulling the motor out of the door, PITA. pull out the old and put in the new, swap out door pannels, and your done. Nothing special, manual raiser bolts right in.

I figure it will be somewhat of a pain and, before I waste too much time on this project, has anyone on this list successfully performed this transplant? I checked out the Archives and, although others have asked the same question, I didn't find any message stating they had successfully done it. I am left with the impression that it might be fairly straightforward, the only problem being the holes left in the panels from the switches. Anyway, any advice would be appreciated. > > > > > >Marshall > > > > > ____________________________________________________________ > Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. > http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus |
