Re: 1940 front door window mechanism

With the driver's door welded up and at the paint shop, I returned to the puzzle of the front door regulator connecting piece. Unfortunately the blueprints for these are non-existent. Inspired by Gerd and Howard, and using the photos provided by Jim and David, I set to create some drawings that might be used by John or his machine shop to make the pieces I need to reassemble the regulators for long-term use.

In 2011 I used a couple of binder screws and a nylon disc to hold it together. I figured I'd leave the front windows up until I had of solution. Shortly thereafter my daughter and I drove to the airport to pick up a friend. We had to stop in town on the way back and while we were waiting on this warm summer day, her friend to my horror rolled down her window. I couldn't believe it rolled back up, and I've rolling it down every time I put the top down ever since, 7 years. However, since we are working on the doors, this is the time to fix them for good.

If you need to print them out, they should be to scale if you mark "do not scale" when you print on letter size paper.
