Buick Reatta Headlight Motor Repair Kit on 2040-parts.com
Dallas, Texas, United States
|
The original Buick Reatta headlight assemblies worked quite well in, say, the first fifteen years of their operation but beyond that use they began to fail in two areas. The motor actuator, commonly called the crank arm, was die cast of a relatively soft zinc material and the nano second opening and closing action caused the center of the crank arm to gradually round out and become ineffective. Also, due to ageing, not usage, the plastic torque rollers inside the motor began to crack, get broken up and, like the crank arm, became useless. Our NEW DESIGN kit takes care of these deficiencies quite well.. The crank arm, the heart of the kit, CNC machined from billet stock to final configuration for a perfect fit between it and the flat section of the motor shaft.. New Delrin plastic torque rollers take care of the second issue. These parts are superior to the OE part in every way and will last the life of your car. This is a very complete kit as all, repeat ALL, of the parts necessary to rebuild your old headlight motor are included. There is substantial impact when the headlight assembly opens, and closes, in a nano second and comes to a instant stop. We have replicated the OE injection molded impact bumper in thermoplastic rubber and it is available only to us. A new plastic, Delrin, is used for the three torque rollers (roller bushings as they are sometimes called). and they are sized identically as the OE part. Other included parts are a distorted thread hex nut, alloy steel flat washer with the "DD" hole, an OE type link arm retainer clip, plastic insert nuts for the travel stabilizer function and a small packet of synthetic grease. There are, indeed, several other vendors offering headlight motor repair kits on Ebay and making claims about the superiority of their product. Please take time and examine closely the manner in which they are assembled and the full make-up of the.parts kit. No other kit includes a thermoplastic rubber impact bumper - they only suggest that you install the 20 year old part from the old crank arm.! Unbelievable! Also take a look at the alloy steel stud at the other end of the crank arm. Ours is not a threaded bolt nor does it have a very minimal part of it press fit into the crank arm. Be wise and compare. The Installation Instructions are tutorial in nature and complete. We tell you what tools you should use, what to do with them and give you some suggestions to make the job easier. We can always be contacted at toll free at (855) REATTAS (732-8827) should any questions arise. We also furnish you references for Internet websites that offer excellent maintenance and repair information for your Reatta. We ship by USPS Priority Mail with two or three day delivery dependent upon destination and we ship same or next business day. Our charge is $6.95 for handling, insurance and postage to US destinations. Foreign destination costs are referenced in a prior section of this listing. We sell to end users only, no re-sellers please. Thanks for looking. Kingsley Baker - Reatta Specialty Parts

Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid (2011) first official pictures
Fri, 18 Mar 2011Porsche has released details of its updated 911 GT3 R Hybrid – the 2010 original nearly won last year's Nurburgring 24hr race before (ironically) it retired with petrol engine failure. The 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid – the lowdown Before this report disappears in a chorus of ‘it looks the same as last year’s one’, let's outline where Porsche’s engineers have been busy. At the unfashionable end of the car remains a 4.0-litre flat-six engine producing approximately 470bhp. Up front are twin electric motors, now producing 75kW of power each (up from 60kW) and combined these give the GT3 R Hybrid a 197bhp electric boost, which can be programmed to activate automatically via the throttle pedal, or manually selected during overtaking. F1-derived hybrid tech for the 911 GT3 R Hybrid Power for the two electric motors doesn't come from batteries, but flywheel accumulator technology from Williams Hybrid Power, an offshoot of the Williams Formula 1 team. The flywheel, encased in a carbonfibre safety cell in the space where the passenger seat would be, spins at up to 40,000rpm and acts as a mechanical energy store for the electric motors. Regenerative braking feeds energy back into the flywheel system – no surprises there, as the technology is derived from Williams' exeprience with Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) in F1.
Design Review: Mercedes-Benz CLC
Fri, 01 Feb 2008The Mercedes brand tends to evoke images of wealth and prestige. It is also a company with quite a bit of heritage under its belt, with founder Karl Benz having built the first motorized vehicle back in 1886. So the image of prestige is well deserved, especially when you consider the illustrious designs the car maker put on the road in the last half century: the 1952 300Sc, the iconic 300SL 'Gullwing' from the 1950s and the 230SL 'Pagode' from 1964.
