How to Convert F/R mechanical to toggle?

papasqueeze · 02-24-2020, 01:09 PM

I just upgraded the controller, motor and solenoid. How do I convert the F/R switch from the mechanical with linkage arm to a toggle switch? I have looked on EVDrives.com for a dual contact solenoid, however did not have much luck. Is there a KIT available? TIA

We have reversing contactor kits.

Consider Carts Unlimited for your project, not only will you be purchasing the Hardware but the technical support that you might need for this project. They took all of the pain out of this upgrade, back in the day we took 2 white rogers SPDT solenoids on a home made mount while scratching our heads...Where did that wire go...

Haha. Guilty as charged. If you follow Scotty’s diagram, you’ll have no problem at all.

I used winch solenoids to reverse a gasser with a starter generator
