I just bought a couple of '73 window regulators for my '72.
Holding them up to the door I see they are not just bolt in replacements. Does anyone have a break down diagram or good picture that shows the proper installation and hook ups for installation. Tx Edit: Actually I would be happy to see a couple of pictures of someone's doors with the door panels off (windows up and down) so I could get an idea of the angles that the newer regulators go in on.

I had this problem when I replaced a door on my race car (1973) with a door from a 1970. I finally cut the center section of the door (part with mounting holes) off the damaged door and then cut the replacement door to match and weled it in. Was a small pain in the ass but I got over it. Good luck.

This is usually acomplished by replacing the early doors w/late.

I guess I will have to get out the old protractor and figure this one out for myself. It was something that I thought most owners of older cars had already done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dance.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dance.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) nope. i got used regulators in good condition for my '70 car and they work like a charm. i certainly don't want late style doors. way too heavy ...
