Just started following your build a week ago. Started from page 1. Now I'm all caught up. I commend you on your dedication and hustle to get this to where it is now! It's looking good and the way you're progressing, you'll have it completed in no time! Great job!

Thanks. But that's what I've got and unfortunately with the new rubber installed, the fit is nice and tight (vent window frame to rubber), and while testing while installed it opened up the inner part to create more play as the bronze is softer than an original cast. My fault for forcing it ever so slightly. I applied some quik weld inside for the time being to close it up, so hopefully that work until I find an original.

Vent window frame is aligned as best as I could get it. I did use my hand to try to guide the window open and close, but forgot to use silicone or rubber dressing on the rubber at first. I however did apply some after the fact. Unfortunately I was testing it inside and did not take it out in the sun to soften or conform to sit lower. I've been installing my new windows and vent windows and wanted to make sure it worked correctly before putting back everything together. Fortunately the drivers side works with no issue even with some slight resistance on the rubber. However that gear is the original cast aluminum, so it's a lot harder and doesn't give. Maybe I should've tested it after having it in the sun for some time. Unfortunately it's too late for that for this gear. Hopefully I'll be able to find an original. Thanks for the advise for future reference.

WANTED 1937 120-C vent window regulator or regulator gear

I'm looking for a 1937 120-C passenger vent window regulator or original regulator gear. A few of the teeth on my gear were worn, so I tried to rebuild it with the reproduced gear that is available online. But that gear is made out of bronze and is just too soft. I installed new weatherstripping on the vent window so it's a bit tight & a bit of resistance in closing and opening it and it has caused the gear inside that is keyed to the shaft to get smashed and open up, so now's there's some play.

I tried this approach before on my 37, as many have stated, to prime if it's been sitting awhile. Did some research and supposedly had gotten the correct electric pump (Airtex E8902),but when I would accelerate the car to about 55mph it would start to sputter. Seems like the fuel was being slightly restricted through the electric fuel pump. Rebuilt mechanic pump, pulled and cleaned the tank, new lines all before trying this. Pulled the electric fuel pump off and that fixed it. It would be nice to get a resolution though as it would be nice to have a pump to prime.
