Power Door Lock Solenoids Actuators NEEDED 1970-1976 2 or 4 door Looking for any 2 door or 4 door power door lock solenoids / actuators from 1970-1976 to restore for my projects. I attached pics of some examples of the type I need, but any will do since I can modify the brackets if needed. I am a welder. Let me know what you have and what you want for them. I am interested in them in any condition-- working or not. I can rebuild them. I will pay shipping to my address via usps priority FLAT RATE since it's the cheapest way to ship them. 6781camaro@tampabay.rr.com
I have gone through a few of these over the years. The rubber boot on the top dries out and cracks. Water dripping in the door causes the doorlock to sieze up. I haven't found an original style replacement for the rubber boot, but cut a finger tip off a rubber glove slide the palm part of the glove onto the solenoid body and let the rod protrude through the trimmed finger. A couple of zip ties to hold it all in place and the problem is fixed. My last set of solenoids have worked beautifully for years with this arrangement. Of course, you can guess which finger is best to trim and how it looks when the solenoid is activated. Wait, did my car just give me the finger?:eek2:
