Swapping standard bullets for skullcap powerfolds

chrislloydie · 30th June 2011, 18:19

As some of you may have read, I recently bought a 2002 75 tourer diesel for er indoors. Now, the tourer came with Royal blue skullcap powerfolds fitted and she has agreed to me swapping them for my royal blue non folding bullets.

So my question is, how straightforward a job is this likely to be?

Im working on her to let me have the FBH out of the tourer too!

You will need to source some looms for your doors, or swap these aswell, as it's more than likely they're missing. Remove and disconnect drivers window switch. If there are two free terminals in the white connector block, looms are missing.

If you speak to Paul ( Raistlin on the community forum ) he may be able to help you with the looms.

Mirrors etc are a straight swap, using the existing fittings from each type of mirror. Skullcaps have 3 self tappers per side, bullitts use one M5 bolt and 2 M5 nuts I think.

Easiest way IMHO to fit the powerfold looms is door removal, although it can be done without. Using the originals, the doors will have to come off.

Midlands nano in a few weeks, or if you can't make it, give me a shout and I'll help.

Cheers Ben, Ill be at the Midlands Nano in July, there for both the Saturday and Sunday and we will have both cars there too. I'll have a look in the zt and see if the looms are in place, if so I'll give it a go myself. If not then I'm gonna need some help.
