I agree it would be easier but he would need two 24' rams @ $250.00 each, it gets a little expensive. Unless you know where to get them for less.

I would like to switch mine to make it easier to reach the outside of each motor.

Thats i good idea. I didnt know they made those in 12v! My freinds clothing store had those on his front door. Two guys came in and tried to rob him and he locked it on them. They couldnt get the door to open no matter how hard they beat on it. Never rob a store, where everyone that works there carries a firearm, they arent scared to shoot back!
