Does anyone know if the '66-'77 911 window cranks will fit the spline of my '76 window regulator? I'm in the home stretch on my interior assembly, and looking at options.

Thanks!

Yes, and you need to use the screw from the 911 also.

Thanks. I'll try and pick up a used one, with the cover, and see how she looks.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!!!!!

I picked up a pair of the earlier style chrome base type, with the plastic cover. And well, THE SPLINE DIDN'T FIT!!! But the good news is, the screw did!!

So I was able to get it to work. The spline has the correct number of teeth- 12, and the major diameter is correct. It's the minor diameter (the ID over the teeth) that is too small. So I drilled it out. Use a 27/64" drill bit, and drill down to the shoulder at the bottom of the spline. Then use a 7/16" bit and drill about 3/16" down into the spline. Last step- take a tiny triangular file and clean up the burrs covering the splines, and sharpen them while you're at it. Takes a few test fits and more filing, but it'll eventually fit.

I like it. Picture below-

Looks nice! Thanks for the head's up on how to modify them for fit.

Looks good as well! Is there enough left of the splines to last rolling the windows up and down a few times?

The 914 cranks are standard VW bug and can be picked up at a bug shop for about $4 each new.

Not sure your point. I have a set, with Hella logo cast in even. They're pretty junky, even though they're brand new. The 911 piece is the same size (perspective makes it look smaller in the picture), but the combination of chrome and black, plus the fact that the handle is more substantial looking, gives it a more deluxe look in my eyes, and it fits with the black/chrome combo in the door handle.

To each his own.
