Door Window lift

Post by Bill Johnson » Sun Mar 20, 2022 12:40 pm

I need any detail for a Model T door window lift actuator . I am trying find a work-around for a 1925 Essex that has a worm drive window lift actuator in a die cast or pot metal housing that has crumbled. I was told that a Model T ( do not know what year ) may have a similar lift actuator that might be adapted to the Essex. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This may narrow it down - or exclude some.

Thank you for the pictures . I will try to locate one of the T risers to see if I can adapt it.
Thanks again

The only T window riser that’s available from the vendors is the riser for the 26-27 T closed cars. It’s the only T riser that is being reproduced and the others are hard to find if you can even find one. Go to Lang’s T Ford parts and you can get a good look at one to see if it can work for you. Good luck!
