Re: Door mirror motors or not?

Hi Kirsty
You may find a model shop with compatible motors from Ripmax, or another supplier....or maybe Proops still sell electric motors. If you can't find a motor suitable, then see if you can find a sail winch servo second hand for a model yacht and strip the motor out....they are quite powerful, and small, and should drive a mirror easily....you may have to use some kind of resistor, though, as they may not be 12v. Should be no problem with a suitable heat sink.
Cheers
Helen
