The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors Window regulator

59 Apache 38 . I pulled the small door panel off . And I mean small. For access to the window mechanism. So by feel I will tell you what I found. The large 6 inch fan shaped gear is dangling down near the bottom of the door still attached to the control arm. I can fish my arm in and lift it up to the general area it should be. Seems to be an attachment point as in a hole of some kind (maybe threaded) in the regulator body about 5” from the handle. So my question is. Does this fan shaped gear (have a name) how does it attach. Does it attach as I think which is at a pivot point with a bolt . What size and thread count? Also on the other side of the fan by the cut gears. Am I correct to think it just slips underneath and in behind the handle side gear on the handle side ? This is the original as far as I know regulator for a 59 . I tried a few bolts seems to be a 7/16 maybe but unknown thread count that I could find . Thinking fine thread of some kind. That is if it isn’t a rivet. Or am I wrong about everything ? Ha ha thanks for all the help

Update: After a google search for picks of the regulator I decided the fan shaped gear must be held on by a large rivet style fastener. With my one arm jammed into the door as far as I could . I slipped the gear in behind the handle with the small drive gear. At the other end of the fan shaped gear a hole lined up with another on the regulator frame. I decided to insert a bolt and nut to hold the fan shaped gear in place . A little tinkering to find the exact location in relation to the handle crank and it all tightened up nicely. I lubed all slide points and the window works like factory new. I’ve taken other windows apart before and let me tell you . If you can find a way to fix what you have without taking it apart or out of the door you will be in a much better mood when the job is done. Hope this helps someone at some point. Have a great day building your trucks.
