Yoshi, you lurker!

I don't know about factory VW motors. However Electric-Life in Chicago
sells their Italian-made conversion kit, which use Bosch motors. I have
bought a kit for my 84 Caravelle, but as the van is stored in another city
I haven't had the opportunity to fit it.

I have heard that these are a bit slower than the VW units but much more
reliable. Contact Vito Rubino of Electric-Life at:

Prices in December 1999:
VK-12k             Left & right electric regulators  $175US
4990-10-227   3 VW-style switches, a 2-switch bezel and complete wiring
harness   $65US

These folk also have remote window closers, remote starter/alarm and remote
central locking systems, which I have also bought and am waiting to fit...
