Who's Interested............

[Scorpion]

Well after much debate from me and on behalf of the club i MAY have persuaded my mate to

put the FULL CLOSURE in kit form.Now if he will do it, everything will be supplied and probably

with a diagram and technical support, the only snag is that if people take this up YOU will

have to do some soldering and if its not done right he will not take responsibility!!

(this may be supplied with a detailed photo where to solder)

Doing it this way YOU save on labour but you do need some technical abilities.

Now obviously he wont do it for just 1 or 2 people

So just to gauge interest who would be SERIOUSLY up for it!!!!

Cheers

Pete

Also this will be available(hopefuly)to IS200/300 owners club members.

[Veece]

Certainly would be very interested.

Whats the price of the kit gonna be ?

Any rough idea ?

[ColinBarber]

Do you have an idea on price?

Provided the system switches off power to the motors within a second of the window/sunroof closing, to prevent long-term damage to the motors, I would be interested.

[Scorpion]

SteveAudiox,are'nt you in the business anyway?

No price set yet but it will be cheaper than him doing it for you

so this keeps costs down.

I will keep this post going for two weeks to see how things go

and then im sure he would come up with a price?

[Steve]

I thought geoffers was doing the closure thingy??

I must be confused?

Also.. how about launching the kit on our new store we are building?

[Geoffers]

Nope - not yet. I wasn't happy with the current drawn by the windows if they are up, no pulse sensors and the cogs being part nylon/part metal. (strain). I'm sure he has progressed it further and used current sensing. I've moved on to the composite-RGB converter for the inbuilt SatNav for now.

Not much point in me continuing with it. No need to re-invent the wheel!

[SteveAudioX]

Yes Scorpion I am...

I was just asking on the pricing issue.

:)

[Canter]

You know, count me in.

Lets hope for a good price

[ColinBarber]

Not much point in me continuing with it. No need to re-invent the wheel!

There is if this current solution is not current sensing. Unless it is I wouldn't recommend anybody using it as you could end up with very large repair bills if your motors/gearing fail in a year or two after installation.

[GBOOV]

I have built this onto my car but it caused a problem with the over run on putting the windows up i am still trying to get the current sensing right because it broke a tooth on one of the nylon winder cogs.

[Fargo]

put me down... if the price is right, and if the current sensing issue is sorted..and if Geoftronics isnt gona continue...

[Scorpion]

Fargo quoted: put me down... if the price is right, and if the current sensing issue is sorted

Paul,your right to ask this and i will try and get more info for you but the present car its

on has been done now for about a month and is used daily and he has had NO problem

with it,but next time i see him i will bring up the question you raised

Oh did i mention it will be on mine in time for the somerset meet..........

and i'll bring the lights with me.

[Risky3301]

Add me to the list as well please.

[Geoffers]

Guys - didn't mean to cause doubt.

I was explaining why I never persued it. The current sensing isn't difficult to do and I'm sure it will be built in. It's just awkward getting it right. Too sensitive and the windows stop when the rubber is tacky in the summer, too high and there is danger of long term damage. I then got a few new contracts which took most of my time, then got sidetracked by the composite-RGB converter, etc.

I never put it on hold it because I doubted it could be done reliably, it was mainly because time is an issue for me and the RGB converter appealed to me a bit more.

If Pete's mate has sussed this without digrams, then he obviously knows his stuff and I'm sure he will be happy to put your minds at rest.

[Scorpion]

Geoffers,thanx for that?

If anyone is in doubt over this,or you all think it needs more testing time

then thats fine,we will do that, but as i said so far there has been no issues

with it at the moment it all works fine.

This post is for people that understand it more than i do so if you have any

questions or doubts i will pass them on.

The only problem i can see is how to show people were to solder?

but i'm sure he will get round that.To put it into a "kit form"is an idea

i had to pass this on to you lovely people in the club.(the things i do for you guys)

[Wosket]

i'm interested :)

[Rob]

i would be very interested but only if i could have it with out the sunroof closure and would need to know how the unit/units know the position of the windows - current sensing etc

[Dunkie]

I am very interested in this.

Let us know when you have more details thanks!

[kev dood]

If this is total closure then sounds good.

As far as soldering goes, a couple of photos to show people what it should look like would be invaluable.

For us who are in the know, would there be a schematic available, just so we can source our own parts and make it ourselves??

Good work though.

[Scorpion]

kev dood,as i said hes not sure how he is going to do it yet

or how the plans will be set out, its just to see how many

would be interested before he decides when and how.

Details will follow soon(hopefully)
