F/R switch conversion comparison

cyberdrunk · 07-22-2014, 09:15 AM

Does anyone have any opinions on which conversion kit is better, the one from golf cart care, versus the kit from vintage golf cart parts? there is almost a $70.00 difference in price.I know this topic is beaten up, but i could not find any more info on these kits from forum.Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I have also seen talk (but no details) about a 'G1' conversion. Is that the same parts and price range? G1 is apparently a Yamaha cart?

I just bought the one from Golf Cart Care. The boss there states that he is the one that designed the conversion and the others are his with a jacked up price. Right now, I'm having a bit of trouble with installing it because the diagrams are not labeled as to components. I'm sure I missed something, but I'm not sure what.

Pa, that is the $85.00 one ? I bought this par cart for my mother, I do believe it could possibly be the ugliest cart on earth, lol...white,hot pink and blue stripes with matching seats, it even has factory rear seat,lol believe its a '92...I have gone through 2 key switches already,sold my black ,92 due to crank seal being bad,should have kept it for parts..lol Ill post pics after the weekend.

Nothing that a coat of paint and some vinyl dye won't fix.

I'm still trying to get the upgrade kit working. Something's not right and I can't seem to get the s/g to operate though the solenoids operate. I'm hoping 73eldo can figure it out as we've been communicating in another thread. There's nobody local that has done the conversion and the guy I bought it from isn't a lot of help over the phone.
