Re: power window regulators on the cheap

Ok thanks. That is what I thought when I laid it out but wanted to be sure. I already need to cut one apart as I welded the armature gear upside down.

Re: power window regulators on the cheap

Well I got my set finally done. Used this thread for the key dimensions and my design. I tried to simplify the design as much as possible. Below is the link to my thread:

Thanks to those above that helped out on this upgrade.

Re: power window regulators on the cheap

Sorry if this was said and I missed it, but what stops the window at the top and bottom? Or do you just control the switch?

Re: power window regulators on the cheap

Sorry to have to bring this up again, but when you mounted the motors and did all the mods, did you reinstall the spring? Mine is 1/2 a rotation further around than when the regulators were original, which would put one heck of a load on the window. Di you leave the springs off or can they be left off?

I can probably cut and modify the spring to fit, but if I can avoid that, all the better.

Re: power window regulators on the cheap

Watched a YouTube video recently by FoothillPaintFabrication, and he put the spring back on. Felt it worked better with it. On a 1965 Malibu, but same theory of adapting power motor.
