40phil41 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 Does anyone know who sells 6V solenoids for the BW OD transmission? I have been searching for one ever since I discovered that mine wasn't working in late August. Have come across two used 12V ones but no 6V. Thanks, Phil Ellis Quote
Jim Yergin Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 Phil, Have you tried Neil Riddle or George Asche? Jim Yergin Quote
40phil41 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Posted October 28, 2006 Why didn't I think of that? I'll give them a try. Thanks, Phil Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 The B.W. R10 overdrive trans uses the Autolite HRT 4001 relay. It resembles the one pictured here, with the fuse standing on end. The one shown is for an Under-drive unit. When looking for one of the relays, I called a couple vendors who wanted around $100 or more for one. I finally got a NOS relay on ebay a while back for $50. Apparently no one was watching that auction too closely. You would think that if someone knew just exactly how that OD relay works, they could then come up with another model number that worked the same way. But it must not be that easy. Quote
Young Ed Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 The relay isn't that complicated of a part. Dads 50 is running a 12v relay intended for car alarms on the stock 6v system. Works just fine and has been in there for atleast 10 years. Of course that doesn't help Phil with his solenoid.... Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Whoops.....he did say Solenoid, not relay. I was barking up the wrong tree there. Not sure about the solenoid....surely there is one somewhere. Would they be interchangable with anything else? Quote
