RE: [MarcosManiacs] 1600 GT side window help.

2019-04-16 by C&D

Hello Greg,

 

I've just finished restoring chassis 5201.  The window lifts are from an Austin A30.  There is no winder mechanism.  The glass sits on an adjustable spring loaded bar and you pull it up or push down using a small piece glued onto the glass.  

 

I'll check to see if I have a photo of the mechanism.

If you want to  convert to electric, I can send info on parts to use. The motor assy's are 1960's GM. The right motor is used on the left side and visa versa. Not sure if window frame is interchangeable.

Hopefully near the end of restoration on 1600 GT 5296 (woodie, LHD). Unfortunately, the right side window, and the window lift mechanisms from both sides were lost in action. Does anyone have spares, or parts that I could borrow for replication? Would be fine with converting to electric if that would be more viable. I have the window frames. Appreciate any help. I'm in Orange County, Southern California. Greg Haskin
