Nope Try 60 bucks (93 full size bronco pwr mirrors)

We'll never know becaue they are near impossibe to get out the mirror
case-NO screw holes, just glue and 1 way snaps. i busted a power mirror
and had to find a new one, and thought-Hey motors! All i have to show
for it is cut up hands and 60 less bucks. BTW the newone works like a
charm on th bronc'

Tell me if you have better luck, because mine sucked:)

system is current hungry, but I did temporarily forget that the car runs on
12 volts...so I guess they really aren't suited for beam...thanks

<< Never tried them, but they probably won't work. why? Car's run on a twelve
volt high amp power system. The motors in those babies won't be very usefull
for beam.

E'en all (anon)!

Whilst testing my little HPV Board, I decided to do an Amp test to gage the=
efficiency of my motors. I took the reading from the capacitor. Is that =
the reading for the entire circuit, or is it just the cap's amperage?
