if you are interested in going the route I went write back I'll see what I
can do for parts. make sure you want to go this route. the motor sticks out
from the door skin 1 inch. you will need a custom door panel to cover the
motor. I plan to mount speakers in the door panel to compliment the covering
over the motor. it was a real easy conversion, it took 2 days of mock ups
and changes to come up with the installation. first door took 2 days, 2nd
door took 2 hrs. I still have to weld in a brace to strengthen the iner door
skin, it would probably work fine the way it is. the guy at DC said they pay
$15 per, the rest of the $150 is dealer markup!!! I believe you could adapt
any PW set up that had enough travel.
