C1 Window Regulators

[Pierre J.]

The splines, in crank shaft in my '57 window regulator, are worn out and I need to replace it. It is part of a small shaft/gear assembly that is riveted to the main part of the window regulator.
Does anybody know where I can find on of these? Are they the same as a full size Chev. or any other GM products.

Thanks

55 to 57 is one and may be others?

Roy,
I'm not sure what you're saying.
Are you saying 55 to 57 Corvette window regulators are the same? or they are the same as other GM products?
I thought all C1 had the same regulators.

Sorry guy! 56 to 60 Corvette are all the same but PW doors, also the (Pontiac and Chevy Nomads) are the same as Corvette even the PW types, I was talking the gear area you spoke about same as many cars.

Re: C1 Window Regulators

Pierre--
Roy is incorrect-- 56 through 58 Corvettes used the same window regulators--59 through 62 used another, because the crank handle was relocated slightly. The only difference is in the location of the bend and angle of the bend in the long arm--and that's only inside the door--not visible outside. GM products of that vintage used very similar mechanisms with necessary changes to fit the doors and the window channels--but the small gear you need should be available in many of those. There is a lot of restriction against the gears when the window is maladjusted--but usually that will first bend the arm, and then strip the teeth from the larger gear. If you have no luck, email me offline, and I'll see what I have in old regulator parts. I'd guess I have something, but we got 12" of snow today, and I'm not eager to go out to the barn tonight and look.
Regards, Mike

Re: C1 Window Regulators

Thanks for the clarifications Mike. I have one more place to check next week and if I come out empty, I may take you up on your offer.

12 inches of snow??? Freezing rain here.
