What does it cost for a mid ninties Fadal conversion

[Fudd]

In talking with Lightening Cool, they want $3900 for the kit that fits on the spindle. That does not include the pump, plumbing, or wiring. Is it that good or that complicated? They want a service tech. to install it $$$.

Thanks,

Scott

Lightning Cool systems are definitely worth the money. It is very difficult to make a through spindle coolant system that are reliable on machines that do not have integrated spindles, so to make it work takes quite a few parts. The kits cost is justified pretty quickly when you don’t have to buy drawbars, seal kits, drawbar pistons, belts, and bearings all the time, (like we were doing) because Lightning Cool fixes the problems that cause those parts to fail. As far as installation goes, don’t let anyone fool you, it is not hard to put one on. They come with all of the special installation tools and instructions in every kit. I’m not sure if it would affect your warranty if you did the installation yourself.
