You can try soldering a new nipple on, I would do that first.
The new one has an NPT that will fit into the mounting base off the old one. You will not have any issue with positioning the direction of the valve because of the NPT’s tapered thread and it should work fine with depth clearance etc.

Asking $40.00 OBO. I can e-mail more photos if needed.

I saw this for the first time the other day and I said WTF. This stuff is crap and I would never want a car from them and I am not sure anyone looking for quality would want to touch them with a 1000’ pole.
1950 Olds 88 --- tell me you did not want to jump through the TV and kill them. I know the man who sold his dads Olds, on the show, must be hating himself now…

What did they price them at?

"I've heard of a couple of desperate souls who took their dirty SJ filter apart, put new filtering media in the shell, and put it back together. Not sure how effective that might be in the long run. I'd be afraid it might suck in air along the crimp."
I was that guy and the crimp sucking air is not an issue due to the way I rebuilt mine. I have a post at classic olds that you can read up on.

Thanks all I got what I needed and I will be putting it back together soon.

I went to a local HVAC shop and they had what I needed. Look into that.

Chuck,
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p>
Mystery solved on my side. It turns out both of the channels I have on my car are missing the end pieces and that caused me to second guess the photo shown. I assume that over time the parts feel off and someone tossed them into the abyss. The area with the arrow shown, does it have any additional parts that are required for it to be received into the small guide channel in the door?
Thanks,
Ben

What year Starfire? 1961
I am referring to the channel that attaches to the regulator as you have shown in the photo (for a sedan ?) BUT my part is not the same as the one in the photo but very close to it (Convert). I'll attach a photo later.
Thanks to both of you for the info provided, that gives me something to go on.
Now I would like to proceed with getting my own universal channel and weld my existing brackets to it but if I have to and can find a
repro I will consider it even if I have to do some minor cutting to achieve what Chuck did.

The part I am looking for may not be available for my specific car but I am sure that a universal type must be available. This metal "U" channel that the door glass slips into is what I am after.
The bottom of the door glass fits into a rubber "u" channel that fits into a metal "U" channel and this assembly attaches to the regulator. It is metal and about a 1/2" wide and the length of the window.
I think it is called "glass retaining channel"?
I have searched for it and seem to have a lead on it at Restoration Specialties & Supply, Inc.
so I will call them tomorrow to check.
If anyone has other info please drop me a post. If I can get a section of this it will save me the trouble of making my own.

Dave,
That is correct and from what I see the chevy one does not have an angled end like the 61 SF.
Not a big deal - I have a plan to fix the original ones for now...
-
That is good news about the arm rests, I need new ones from my 61 SF/88.
-
I did not know that...
"did you talk to Mike or Dave, or any of the other great guys there? Sometimes they can find it anyways!"<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
Thankyou
-
Thanks Jim and I do try to look at all the sister type cars also from GM when hunting for parts.
I just found a local U-Pull it junk yard - Wow! not many left and I thought they we all gone... I hope I will get a chance soon to look around for something from a late model that will fit my needs.
-
Yes but no luck with what I need.
They seem to have lots of other rubber parts that will come in handy later on.
