It's definately a solution, although maybe not the best. It is a bit of a risky move and one time the spring broke off. Probably a good thing that it didn't happen when installed.

Ok, I got the correct parts finally. I hope... :)

Measurements seem correct to the ones stated above.

Will start installing as soon as those correct rubber conduits arrive.

If you need pictures showing the mounting locations for the 4 bolts in each one, let me know.

Sweet, thanks. So on the door I can see that top rear bolt is shifted a bit, is that the new hole that needs to be drilled you mentioned before?

Funny you mention that, I never noticed that until I posted the picture and looked at it.

This is a factory power window car, not one that I converted so I'm not really sure.

I'll go pull that bolt and see if I can see signs of manual drilling.

There's no doubt that is 100% from the factory that way. It's perfectly oval shaped hole that has been stamped, not drilled.

I have no idea why they would do that because with the other 3 being round, it's not like you can move the regulator body around that much. Weird!

Thanks to advice of the experts I figured that the plates were the holes for harness should be on 65 are able to be knocked out, will test that once I get correct conduit boots.

 

 Did you find the conduit boots or are you still needing a pair? 

Send me a private message please if you need a pair. I can likely help you.
