Need Help with turn signals in 1991 Marathon

dkscism · 10-25-2010, 09:32 PM

Hey I am looking for some solutions for my new project. There are pics here:
http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...ject-cart.html
The cart obviously needs the front cowl cap. I want to install headlights, so i need the one with the light insertions. I have found a whole setup on ebay and at one of the site sponsor sites. Here are the links: http://www.3rsalesandservice.com/cat...vice/29825.htm
and the one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
The one on ebay is a much better deal but it seems to not include the needed cables and hardware..
Is it worth the Discount to buy from ebay and find the correct cables to use somewhere else? I guess it would naturally be more expensive to buy the cowl cap and headlights seperately (correct me if im wrong). And also, If i plan to make my cart have turn signals..assuming i bought one of these setups, what else do i need to get?
I want to have a seperate battery power the lights as well. I know nothing about carts for the most part. The guy i bought my cart from recomended me to use a marine battery for this. (like a trolling motor battery) I will also install tailights that will serve as brake lights. What do i need for this? And what do most people do for a rear seat on these models (i do not care if it folds for storage or not)?
Sorry for the overload of questions!
Any links, advice or suggestions would be Greatly Appreciated.

The Ebay like says the item has been removed.

As for cost...... going with a site sponsor generally means you get parts from a person that CARES about the industry and is willing to offer support AFTER the fact......

Its still up but for some reason no links work to get to it.

dkscism... I got the complete set up for my 1990 marathon, and spent around $225 for everything including shipping. IMO go with the complete system, it is cheaper that way, and you know that you have all the correct components....

Also, be careful with e-bay, there is a front cowl that someone sells on e-bay that is a "half cowl", and that is not what you want... It is cheaper than any other you can find. When I was looking for mine, I saw this and e-mailed the seller to ask why it was so cheap, and they confessed this info....

Hey i found this:
http://www.rainbowcustomcars.com/pro...1988-1994.html
Note the price. On the same site they have this listed:
http://www.rainbowcustomcars.com/pro...l-Package.html
The only difference is that the second one does not include the wiring harness or hardware. Do you think i could buy the second one and get a wiring harness from the same site or elsewhere for cheaper than the first link?

If you know what you are doing, IE:electrically I think you could save the extra money and do it your self...

dkscism · 10-27-2010, 08:55 PM

Well that sure is a no. lol But i just ordered some parts that will get me started for sure:
http://www.everythingcarts.com/p-222...-complete.aspx
http://www.everythingcarts.com/p-146...iring-kit.aspx
http://www.everythingcarts.com/p-959...ke-switch.aspx
Have not bought the taillights as of yet, but i figured i would go ahead and get the switch to capitalize on the free shipping on orders over $99.
Watcha all think?

HuntinBuggie · 10-28-2010, 01:45 PM

Sounds like a good plan... Post some pics when you are done!
