I have a 57. All of the regulators I have suffer from corrosion of the pin at the end of the regulator that attaches to the channel at the bottom of the window.
Does any reproduce this? I am after the pin and the spring and washer under the pin.
I asked Mika, he doesn't and I have looked at several vendors with no luck.
Thanks for any help,
Peter

There are 4 parts: pin, pushing, washer and spring. I could make the washer and spring first.

Hi Mika,
I really hope you reproduce these parts. Everything I have purchased from you in the past has been of exceptional quality.
I think you will sell lot's of these.
Do you have a way of letting us know when you reproduce these items? Maybe update this thread?

… oh my, 57oval, i'd bet if you grease-up that rusty area, it would slide in that window sash, just fine - what seems to be your problem? Or maybe you just have that disease of perfection and want everything to be like new - z

That's great. It's great that we have talented people who put forth the effort to offer positive solutions to the many issues we run into with these old cars.

Would those parts be the same as on a split? My regulators suffer from the same rust issues.

Yes, they are one and the same.

Received enough parts to do 2 window regulators quite some time ago. Very well made as usual with Mika's stuff. Cant say enough good things about him.
2 thumbs up!!
