Good luck in finding these regulators. Nobody is reproducing them. Rarely found at swap meets anymore but they are around if your lucky.
Some have used the 26-27 regulators but you have to modify the door wood to make them work.
Nobody makes the 24-25 regulator handles either but they can be found on Ebay from time to time.
I got real lucky in finding a regulator on ebay a few years ago and it was rusted up and stuck.
Nobody bid but me and I got it for 5.00.
I repaired it and it works fine.
Havent seen one at any meets or at Chickasha since. That was around 5 years ago.
Good luck and you might try Model T haven or Bobs antique auto parts. His late father had buildings full of T parts and he is thinning them out.

The gear case is made out of pot metal and the force to turn that long screw usually causes them to break, i thought someone was making a replacement for them but i am usually wrong.

I have an extra set,but three need new boxes. I have access to a machinist who makes the gear boxes from Aluminum. They are not cheap,but doable. Send me a PM if interested.

Wasn't Bob Shirley up in Michigan making them out of bronze?

They come in lefts and rights and as luck will have it you will find 7 for one side and 1 for the other. Keep looking and good luck.

If they are the die cast parts like my 24 two door, they are interchangable. I made one of mine out of dpfe plastic or some such. KB

The gear ratio on the pot metal cast regulators is such that by the time you get the window all the way up or all the way down, the weather has changed and you have to go the other direction.
