    Still looking.

    Actually I think the solenoids is ok, but the bracket is broken, maybe its possible to weld it back together. I dont know what kind of metal is it.
    Anyone out there who had recognized this problem. :confused:

    If these are similar to my 71 ones, it is basic steel. I even managed to drill the welded points on the cylinder and weld the correct brackets. I wrapped the cylinder with a wet cloth before...It worked perfectly until I replaced them with a correct pair that Smartin had sent to me.

    Thanks for the answer. :)
    When I get the car home from the Florida in January, I will weld the brackets back together and hopefully it will be OK, because 2 of them are just hanging, since the brackets are broken.
    I will also try to find some wreck yards in Florida when I go over in November and hopefully find any wrecked Electras.
