Soooo, I just got out of parts heaven today with $10 worth of new parts.......WhooooPPPPPP HAAAa!!!
I bouthg a set of window cranks levers thingy to replace my old broken one on both sides...
My question now is...I've seen some really nice billet ones for other cars, some with pretty funky designs, and that is really what I wanted to get, but the problem I was thingking about was fitting?
Any of you guys have non stock window cranks?
Can you show some pics please?
Let me know what you bought and where?
Thanks all...
Also, The guys at parts heaven were telling me about their annual swap meet in june?
Any infos on that?
Thanks
R.

I like to use what the factory put on the door. There are tons out there on parts cars everywhere. I am sure someone here has a couple they can part with. As for Parts Heaven, we had our last day at WCC last year at their swap meet. It was ok, not really as big as i thought it would be but all in all, there was a lot of people there. Good turnout.

Picked these ones up at a bug shop last year. Cost about $25....
There a two part design. A small spur gear fits onto the winder stub shaft in the door. It looks a bit like a small cog.
The handle piece slides over this cog & is afixed by a hidden allen headed screw.

Whole thing took less than 5 mins to install, looks pretty cool. Adjusts in seconds & is way stronger than the plastic part i took off.
