Hi all just ordered 2 x 6.6 motors from worldwide cleaning support, I'm taking out my standard motors from my enforcer and replacing them with 2 x 6.6 motors can any 1 tell me anything that I will need to do when replacing these thanks in advance Paul
-
U remove the existing vacs and the steel adapter plate they are attached to , then u are just left with the outer bolts that have a 7.2 vac spacing . The 6.6 will be too small to reach onto these so u need to cut metal spacers to bridge the gap ... the metal spacers could be any little bracket or straight piece u find in a hardware place , actually my lower spacers are from aluminium coat hangers i think ... you will have to drill the two holes in each spacer to fit .
Some pics of mine here ...

Let use know your impressions of the performance

Thank you John Martin will all be done by Monday 2 new 6.6 motors fitted. Thank you. Will let u no what I think of the change thanks paul
-
one small detail ... see my bottom vac , i test positioned the motor so it could attach to the existing internal exhaust hose before measuring the size of the metal spacers , its just that it could be hard to find a longer piece of flex hose if you cannot connect to it when you position the vac .
-
Your photos will be a big help to me it's what I will use thank you will post some photos of the project thank you again't.
-
I forgot to mention foam gaskets ... im using two on each motor , to thicken the gasket because the 6.6 is curved not flat like the motor your replacing , im not sure if one gasket works . If you dont have gaskets you might find foam or neoprene on a camping mat or something and cut it to size
-
Hi John we have got the bottom vac done today all fitted only got 1 new gasket for each motor will fit the other 1 tomorrow. The bottom 1 seemed to fit fine and be OK will post some photos tomorrow.

Yeah , the twin booster give amazing power and drying times reaching all round a house .
Its way easier to connect if someone buys the factory Enforcer 6.6 parallel , just connect to the back exhausts , no need for my side port .
That looks like the delay module in your pic , so you have remote control ? do you have a heater onboard also ?
-
Hi again John yea it was on when I bought it just delays the motor by 3 seconds. Yea have both v2 steamate and in tank heater to be honest with you I hardly ever use the v2 steamate just use the intank heater.
