I am looking for a the cheapest contactor I can get my hands on. So far, the cheapest I have found is $63.99 with free shipping. Too much!! If you have something under $50, I'm interested. I need a 12v coil because I am too stupid to figure out how to wire with pack voltage. Have 72v system with 400 amp controller, so it has to be able to handle that kind of continuous duty....

I have a Curtis contactor that came out of a 120 volt 500 AMP EV. It has a 12 volt coil, but has some wear marks and a little rust from being in a S10 EV for 10 or so years. PM me with your e-mail and I'll send you a picture if you want. I think its a Curtis SW200B, but I got two and installed one in my Civic and this other one has been laying around for many months. $40 shipped it's yours if you want, I'll first test it to make sure its all good.

Hmm... I just got your PM now (and replied), but nothing from anytime earlier. Maybe it didn't work the first time????

Wouldn't be the first time I screwed something up

Where did you find that deal? Not a bad price if it's a decent sized contactor.

Where ALL the deals are....eBay! They were Kilovac EV200's. Guy had a bunch, but sold out now. Was a good price, but I just don't have that kind of money. Besides, I want to keep the conversion under $500 and I wouldn't want that to put me over the top....
