What method of cleaning these vinyl windows is recommended?? They are hard to see through on my '75 CitiCar.

Re: Buying into the frustration/THRILL comuta car experience....charger junk?
checked out all four wheels this weekend
looks like possible small fluid leak right front wheel cylinder
all pads suppose to be new and look good shape
greased bearings/greased left and right spindles
put grease in rubber boots tie rod ends and wd40
sprayed everything down shackles parking brake and any rusted parts
wd40
the bearings were loose and needed some tightening
left front brake were binding on turns
were room to slack all the way out and just little touch on left front brake pads
steering turning very nice now.....brakes go off with just a touch...parking brake solid
6/8volt batteries seem to tap out at 7.5v......so batteries not that strong
moving forward and giving updates
thank you

I use a pro charging systems 18a 48v charger. Works great and not too much a 15a home circuit can work with it. I use this charger and one for the 12v accessory battery.?
https://www.batterystuff.com/battery-chargers/48-volt/golf-cart-charger/eagle-performance-series-charger-i4818ob.html It is an expensive unit but been using it for about 5 years with no problems. Takes 8 hours for a full charge with 235ah 6v batteries.

Re: Buying into the frustration/THRILL comuta car experience....charger junk?
I have a Lester charger in a box in my garage, new as far as I remember. If you are interested, tomorrow I will have someone who can lift it take it out of the box and I can take another picture. Where are you? I am in Las Vegas. You can have the charger if you can come to get it or pay for shipping. It is heavy, would probably cost a lot to ship.

Re: Buying into the frustration/THRILL comuta car experience....charger junk?
It should noted that you listed the 913-4800model. Be careful as that one can't always change to a charge pattern you want.? I use the 912-4800.
yes, it appears the guts have been removed. I wonder why someone would that :(

Re: Buying into the frustration/THRILL comuta car experience....charger junk?

took close ups?
thank you for the input

Re: Buying into the frustration/THRILL comuta car experience....charger junk?
What parts are available, maybe post some pictures??

Hub caps too

Re: Buying into the frustration/THRILL comuta car experience....charger junk?
Could you post some more detailed pictures of the old charger.? I'd to see if it might be repairable

Re: Buying into the frustration/THRILL comuta car experience....charger junk?
I've had 2. Both quit within a year.
At that time, the warrantee was 90
days. I see the auction says 3 year warrantee now so maybe it's
worth it.

wonder if a frugal charger like this one would fit the bill? or
save some $
same as this one showing two wire setup Negative and
Positive....just cut the wire on first one to expose pos and neg.?

Re: Buying into the frustration/THRILL comuta car experience....charger junk?
The bluetooth is the cats meow. I'd love to take a look at my phone and see all the charging info. That's the big difference in my opinion.?

Re: Buying into the frustration/THRILL comuta car experience....charger junk?
I looked into those when I was purchasing a charger. I thought? with the amount that batteries cost, it was worth buying a good charger for them. I use the delta quik and am very happy with it. I'd buy the lester summit if I did it again though.?

Re: Buying into the frustration/THRILL comuta car experience....charger junk?
Unfortunately the 3 citicar's that I have owned have all been reduced to parts. What do you need?
