Fix the Power Windows

[abelincoln]

Been too cold to do much, but I figured that should the 48 LC ever runs, it will need windows that will go up.  I couldn't make the hydraulic pump work no matter what I did.  All the lines were full of crusty brake fluid from sitting 50 years.  So I ordered a pair of electric windows from speedway.  Had to make a frame that approximated the original but with mounting for the new opener.  I was planning to use the stock switches with four relays, but the switches feel sloppy and have high resistance, so I used the Speedway switches that came with the kit  Takes about 9 seconds to cycle up and down.  Also need a 6-12 upverter or a 12 volt battery.

Abelincoln,

                  I also have a '48 LC with the original Hydro/window lifts.  How does your new setup from Speedway adapt to the original window brackets?

I see how the new pump will replace the old cylinder, but not the actual hardware- Thanks--- Larry

Larry:

I drilled holes in each side of the lift using the original for a template.  Then I added two short pieces of 1/8 X 1 inch bar (not shown) to meet the holes in the window frame bottom.  This also gives a couple chances to make adjustments if needed.
