squiffy Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 That's what mine had done, and on closer inspection after taking the motor off the regulator the cable was buggered because it had all tangled in the reel and destroyed itself. I got one from amayama as it was cheaper then getting it off the shelf over here. Depends if you need it in a hurry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squiffy Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 That was just a random pic, the part number is definitely drivers side. Haha if only all parts from Japan were overnight parts! Mine took nearly 2 weeks as I didn't realise they closed for a week in the new year lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
