Re: !956 Power window electric motor

This is a great project that I've been following with interest even though I'm not yet ready to work on my 1956 Clipper and then it will be to just get it driveable again. I have the stock motors and scissors still in the box in which they were shipped to me but have not tested them and do not have the wiring harness or switches. That said, I also have a spare set of '56 Patrician doors without glass that I would be happy to use as a test bed if needed, if it can be co-ordinated to one of the brief visits to my Oregon workshop. I'm sure you'll find someone closer to help but the offer is there should none other appear.

As for the details, a kit with motor would probably be better than just the adapter and I for one would not mind a non-stock motor but I am not keen on the relays. I did have a look online of window motor suppliers but it wasn't clear what was expected to reverse the rotation although surely some discrete solid state switch would be better than mechanical relays if such a thing is really necessary. This, of course, is just my two-cents' worth and I'm putting it out there as encouragement and support!
