Title: bay door remote actuators
Post by: John Haygarth on October 11, 2014, 08:06:04 pm
 Well one of mine now has gone south in the centre bay so took it off and apart hoping to fix but the plastic gear has broken in 4 pcs. So although I looked, I wonder if any of you who have replaced these can direct me to a source for new ones.?
Thanks

John,

I just ordered 4 of these recommended by Barry Beam for my generator compartment.

Electric Locks Compartment Doors (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=10365.msg48332#msg48332)

When I called, they said they were out of stock and backordered but I placed my order on line and it says "shipped."  We'll see.

 Thanks for info, only thing was there must be some problem with my computer to this site as the warning came up about  licence problems with that web-site and for the heck of it I could not get rid of that warning. I delete it and instantly it came back- many times so had to force shut down comp' I tried again and same thing so gave up on that link and got same part from another place.
Ordered a spare just in case another goes.
Thanks again
Johnh

Would like to add the electric locks to both fuel doors, both are presently lockable with a key only.  The door on curb side, I changed it to a lockable once the LP fuel tank was removed.  Took the existing key to FOT parts counter where they matched up the correct parts to convert to lockable.  Took parts to Xtreme, Rance is much more nimble than I, made look easy.  Happy to be able to lock both fuel access doors.
