Default A new motor "lid" may be a solution?

Hi Roger,

I'm not sure if you will be able to use those motors. Rob (Trebor) will probably be best to advise.

I followed Robs instructions and had a similar problem but mainly due to using an eBay purchased set of cogs which were pretty rubbish. Too soft. I bought a "proper" set but still had a problem. It was the "lid" of the motor that had worn slightly where the cog fitted.

There is a solution in the instructions about a "sleeve" being inserted to close the gap but that wasn't an option at the time I did mine.

To cut a long story short, I purchased a new "lid" for the motor and fitted that and the new cogs to my mirror and all working fine.

I'm sure I posted some details/photos on one of the threads about Powerfold Cogs ... have a look or let me know and I'll try to find the details/photos in the depths of my previous laptop!

Good luck

John
