Keep everythign 24v if you can, otherwise you'll have to rewire a lot of it, due to 24v not needing as much ampacity as 12v for the same wattage. So you'll have to put in bigger wires. Its always easier to put a DC-DC converter in to run anything you add to it(look at marine supply houses.), but its a lot harder to convert the whole deal to 12v.

Doccers posted:Its two 12v batteries, and suprisingly the wiring looks to be large enough gauge to be 12v - looks better than the wiring in my Cherokee. Nah, dude just yank the start juice out of the middle of the two batteries, they're in series to make 24v anyway. GROUND----(-)BATTERYA(+)-----|12V|-----(-)BATTERYB(+)----24V

Raluek posted:Why not just have the original motor rebuilt at a local shop if it goes out? That can't be $700. Plus, the DC-DC converters that would be required to handle the current of the 12V starter would cost a hefty amount too. Heh, I think if it came down to it they'd just use a resistor capable of 3KW in series with the 12v motor, instead of a converter. It'd be ugly-inefficient, but work.

Doccers posted:My concearn is if it goes out on the trail, (had that happen to a Jeep once), I'd prefer to have a spare on-hand I could swap in. Having 2 would mean I could do that and then have the bad one rebuilt and put it back as a spare. Its a manual, you don't need no steenking starter motor.

Doccers posted:Fortunately, Opel Lady had a similar issue with her Opel she's working on, and found an awesome local cranky locksmith who is a god damned WIZARD and loves a challenge. He managed to create a key for her Opel from scratch off of old codes he had on microfiche, so we figured we'd let him have a crack at this little bastard. This man is truly the Sockington of the Locksmithery world. Nothing is too far gone to fix. Tradesmen like him are a dying breed. Send him a bottle of single malt. Diffuser system. Buy a can of spray on glass frosting, apply several coats. Alternatively pop her open and I'd wager a quart of 5w-30 there's a potentiometer inside on the driver circuit. Twiddle it and see if it dims enough. Your toils have satisfied the AI gods for a time. Doccers posted:
Are you in need of bulk quantities? I may have a source, but they'll only take cash, and you have to bring your own container to the back door after 7pm.
