    I guess you cut a hole in your panelt for the crank.

    Why do you go the "wrong" way , from electric to manual?

    electric parts are hard to find in my place and being in the tropics rain water drips makes the motor prone to failure.

    manual crank will never let me down (or up).

    so does anyone knows of someone who have done this before or a url on steps/parts involved?
