Window cylinder rebuilders

[Sparkydave]

Anyone know who rebuilds them?  I haven't gotten into mine yet, but they haven't been operated in at least 12 years.  Boos-Herrel tells me they only have one replacement available.  I'm hoping I can energize the solenoids and dribble some brake fluid in to see if they move.  The pump appears to be repairable, but while Hydro-e-lectric has a pump repair kit, they don't have one for the window cylinders.

Anyone?  Striking out when I asked Hydro-e-lectric and Apple Hydraulics, neither one can repair window cylinders.  Haven't gotten back to it in a few days as I'm getting over a cold.  Though soon I'll be hauling back the remainder of dad's parts collection back, he might still have one cylinder in his collection.

The problem is of course any parts available to repair/rebuild them.  You need new seals and other parts.  You can buy the hydraulic oil at Napa, in the old days they used brake fluid which wasn't kind to the seals and did leak a lot.  And your car had the intense 'brake fluid smell'!   At one time some of the automotive houses had electrical ones that could be adapted.  Not sure if they're still available.   And they were probably 12 volt units which made it a problem to use on the older cars with 6 volt electrical systems.  It an be done if you understand how to make 6 volts into 12 with an inverter.  There are ways to do these things!

Drop Chris Harrel of Boos Harrel Lincoln a note and ask him if he knows anyone rebuilding those hydraulic window units.
