the first thing I am stuck on with the new car, the driverside window winder gear has exited its worn out casing, are the winders the same up until 60's models - or am I looking at a big problem?

your looking at a BIG problem
54 winders are different so u need to find a replacement.
this is from memory so i also suggest that you get a later style and tes tit up against the 54 mechanism but i am pretty sure there different

thanks Dave, I had a feeling that was the case, may end up as mix & match & cut & weld

i think where they bolt on is a completely different size n the length of arm isa worry as well but cut n weld isa option

Kim,
I just went throught all that with mine, they are completely different.
Mine had a couple of stripped teeth, so I cranked out the welder and welded on some new ones, then filed them to the right shape, works great now.
Looking at yours, you have a big job ahead.

thanks Dave I knew you would have the answer, I have a plan now. sort of. maybe 2 plans
talk about a riduculous problem on an otherwise perfect car.
will study telekinesis - plan C

could always put one piece windows in
or cut the top off

there will be a very long pause while I think of a suitable reply to this suggestion Barry

"Bite your bum Barry" would be a good start!

Buy another '54 for spares, you know you want to :bounce

Aaargh no more cars , 54 was obtained on premise of not having all the Humber stuff , & that I now did not need spares cars any more because all parts freely available, I will have to stand by that agreement for a while yet.:jesus
