Re: Conversion of 1941 hydraulic windows

Using a 12volt motorcycle battery for 12v electric window motors in a 6volt car works great. For the amount of use in a collector car, the battery should only require charging 3 or 4 times a season,.

Seems we've been on this topic awfully long, as to the choice of motors and regulators, why not just call someone who has successfully done it before. I suggest you call Dwight Heinmuller in MD, he converted a 1941 180 a few years ago. For a LeBaron sport brougham, call Kendall Gibbs up in RI who did a similar conversion on that model.

As to the crash in the Everglades, if I recall correctly it was a Lockheed L-1011 Tristar, but if you're interested the NTSB website can entertain you for hours with their accident reports. Probably not the best reading the night before a flight.
