I mean I obviously we all want quarter panel patches. Me too. If I could figure out how to make those without a stamping press and dies, I would.. Saving that part for last anyways..

But the rocker panel patches for these cars could probably be reproduced reasonably. I used to work at a place that produced several different sheet metal parts for vintage cars.

This is a patch for the front inner rocker panel. That top vertical flange goes along the driver's side floorpan, the horizontal face with the holes is what you see underneath the car with the rubber plugs, the lower vertical flange is the pinch weld where the inner rocker, inner rocker reinforcement, and the outer rocker/body side are spot welded together.

Its not the simplest repair by any means.. But half the battle is just producing the metal to repair with.

Anyways.. I know it's not anything anyone looks forward to doing but for those who have to, what patches would you like to be able to buy?

Inner rockers ✅

Outer rocker patches would be tricky to match properly. The profile changes slightly down the length of the car.. But they're also covered, so who would see if they were replaced with just a flat profile rocker panel? I only had to replace a square of the outer rocker. That was made by hand.

I was always blown away by the volume of restoration sheet metal our shop was producing.. Makes me wonder, how many people would buy it if it was an option.. Keep in mind restoration sheet metal is hardly ever perfect

Not sure on year probably 04-11, unable to find any identification on the frame or around the glovebox, all the usual places..

When it works fine, it's fine, when it acts up, the solenoid is not clicking.. My suspicion is the throttle sensor (mcor). When I jump the 2 wire plug on the mcor while pressing the pedal, it seems to drive every time.. Maybe a coincidence.. It did work fine for a good minute at first. When I backprobed the green wire(switched 48v when pedal pressed) from the mcor, sometimes I would notice a delay in throttle response and I'd see a lower voltage reading before it jumped to 48 and would take off..

Not my first time working on a golf cart.. And like I'm normally alright with electrical but I'll admit I'm not really sure how exactly these things work besides knowing there's a motor that needs a controller and there's a solenoid that seems to not do what I think it would..

Besides checking for bad connections, batteries, and verifying inputs, I'm just winging it.

Solenoid seems to have 48v on both sides of main terminals at all times.. Idk what's up with that. It definitely seems to click on and off..

Any insight is appreciated. Places to probe.. Tests to troubleshoot.. Or an explanation of what is actually going on when I press the pedal. Maybe a good YouTube video that explains it?

Like I'm pretty sure it's the mcor. But I want to verify.
