Would be nice to get some feedback as to whether it is worth pursuing but I can do a bit more work on what I have done and ship to you if you want to play, take it over and refine it. I just did a quickie on the plate and know that can be improved.

There are some clearance issues so if you or anyone else with a door panel off can take a couple of shots of the regulator with motor as it lies inside the door I would appreciate it. I know it is at an angle and I think it has to clear the vertical window channel in the front. Might be good to know how much space is available before getting too involved. The setup I have now is a tiny bit wider than the original motor.

If we proceed will probably order a different motor and see if the adapter fits or if it needs a redo.. The motor I bought was a cheapo made in China brand. It may be common but I'm not familiar with Evan-Fischer. Dorman and Delco aftermarkets are about the same price. Not sure if one would be better or more commonly available but think it might be better to go with Dorman because it is flat sided. The plate takes up space to get the motor in a spot the adapter can fit over the pinion so a round motor sticking out further might have clearance issues in the door. Also need to figure out how to handle the relays -- mount on the adapter plate or leave on sockets with extra wire length for attaching elsewhere.. Am thinking adapter plate since that would probably be the most consistent with the different applications and regulators.
