To all,
I just finished repairing and putting back into service Lucille's Windshield Regulator! I've posted pictures on my Webshots page in the Windshield folder for viewing. Lucille's windshield would not stay open and was always slipping. I once almost crushed my fingers while messing around with the windshield trying to keep it open. Now the mechanism opens and closes the window with ease!
I started by following the Stovebolt Tech Tips under General Body Work/Windshield Crank Rebuild. I did mine just a tad different by skipping over the redrilling operation and instead "clamped" the cleaned up windshield regulator assembly to its original operating position where both gears would be soundly engaged again and then applied this amazing material called "J-B WELD" in the worn area of the pot metal casting where the pin comes through. It worked like a champ!! Hopefully others can get theirs to work again like it was suppose to!!
