RE: [DMCForum] DPNW Lock Actuators. Best. Upgrade. Ever.



Thanks for the info, Ryan. I've been wondering about that upgrade,
especially given the weight difference. I imagine that would help
people with droopy doors, which I fully expect to acquire not spending
more than $12k to purchase my D. I'm already making a list of what to
buy (and bring with me) for the car ... less than a year to go, if my
finances hold up!

Folks,

I just finished installing new door lock actuators from DeLorean Parts
Northwest. This is absolutely one of the best upgrades you can do to
your DeLorean. The kit replaces both of your heavy door lock solenoids
with new, lightweight actuators. Benefits:

1. They use a fraction of the power of the originals, thus reducing
strain on your electrical system.

2. They use outboard relays, thus your stock door lock module should
last forever - and no need to upgrade to a more expensive replacement
unit.

3. They weigh a fraction of the originals. In fact, they weigh so
little that you'll have to reduce your torsion bar strength. This
reduces the strain on your torsion bars, doors, and entire door/roof
system.

All for about $100. Yeah, $100. For both doors. Includes everything
you need. Compared to the $400-$500 a Zilla + new solenoids would have
cost me, this is a steal.

Install time was about an hour and very, very easy. Toby's kits come
with instructions so detailed a child could do it. Most of the install
time was spent disassembling & reassembling the doors. The actuators
themselves only take a couple of minutes to put in.

http://www.delorean-parts.com - I don't see the system on their site
but if you email them, they'll hook you up.
