ATTN: People With Shaved Door Handles

Where did you mount your solonoids....Im havin a bitch with clearances.....mainly cause Im using custom door pannels.....but I'd like some imput on where you guys mounted yours.

-Brad

you should get a rod, and custom bend it so that you can put it anywhere you want.

do you need power door locks to put the shaved door handle kit cuz i got a dx and i bought the autoloc 50 shaved door kit but the place tells me i need power door lock in order for the kit to work but i was wondering cuz back in the days the hot rods and lowriderz didn't have power door locks but they had shaved doors

you dont need power locks

the "solenoids" are nothing more than push pull motors that you attach to your existing handle linkage, or you can make your own linkage and put then inwhere in the door cavity as stated above

In my old crx i mounted the solenoids where the doorhandle went on the inside, and made a bubble out of fiberglass to fit over the solenoid in each door panel..then pop riveted the bubbles into place on the door panel and wrapped the panels in tweed..but thats just me i liked the idea of no door handles since everyone has them on the inside..

hehe, side note on this thread, how much did you folks pay for the new door handles without the key lock?

what kinda solenoids can u use? can u use starter solenoids or what? and off what kinda car???

just get the autoloc kit man

ive got the kit....but the solonoid brackets are f'n huge....and I want to make sure I get enough clearance....Im wanting to mount them inside the door frame....because Im not using OEM 4th gen door pannels.

the "solenoids" as people call them are ACTUALLY called actuators
they are motors that push a rod out when polarity is one way and pull a rod in when it is opposite.

nothing like a solenoid, so no, starter solenoids willnot work.

and just so everyone knows, im not busting your chops for calling them solenoids, as i do alot too.

yea slammed i saw that, i was telling 1phatcx to just use the autoloc kit

ahh i gotcha, it makes sence now lol :p too bad they werent starter solenoids cuz i can get brand new ones for free! :(

around how much does the Auto Loc kit run?

just go to a parts shop and ask.....I paid $100 cdn for my kit.....its not autoloc.....but its good quality

i paid 210 for the autoloc kit on my hatch accord....VERY good kit and i got it WAY below msrp..
these are the longest lasting actuators i have evrr owned, and i have had shaved handles on 4 cars now, get autoloc....everything else is just junk.
