1932 Light Eight window lift

Anyone aware of the availability of a drivers side window lift mechanism for a 1932 Light Eight coupe? (Or if the same is used in another model?) One of the gears on the one I have is missing a few teeth - so before I take a shot at disassembly, TIG welding, measuring gear pitch, cutting new teeth, and hopefully not getting a winding spring in the face - if somebody has one….
Thanks!
(And thanks again for providing a wonderful resource)

He did not have what I needed so I obtained blueprints from the Studebaker Museum, duplicated the drawing in Illustrator and made an AutoCad file. Joe Block in Washougal WA made the gears on a laser cutter. Ross Miller at Speedwell Garage, Parkton MD disassembled and installed the gear. It was quite an ordeal due to children cranking too hard on the rear window and breaking about 4 teeth.

Extras were made, but for the rear window regulator for a ‘40 Conv sedan.

I'll add in that nowadays you can get stainless steel 3D printed fairly cheaply if you have the time and skill to make a 3D model of it. It won't be toleranced as well as an NOS part but it would be better than a garage built gear.

For example, this gear that McMaster sells for $72 could be 3D printed in stainless steel for $53. The 3D printed part would have roughly 10 thou tolerance, which for gears is normally pretty bad, but for a window crank mechanism it would still be perfectly fine.

'55 400. Needs aesthetic parts put back on, and electrical system sorted.
'55 Clipper Deluxe. Engine is stuck-ish.
