Re: [VintageLambo] Re: Espada window motor

Hi Fred, The 400"s have a much simpler system for window lifts. The Espada uses an elaborate system of cable and pullys; our cars have a long lever arm that is lifted by gear from the drive motor. I recall once that I rewound a small windshield wiper motor on my E-type Jag years ago. It worked fine and never caused a problem. It can be done. On the other hand, it is much easier to simply find the original equipment manufacturer (in the case of the early Lambos, usually Alfa, Fiat or Mercedes) and buy the part.

Raymond, is there any possibility that the Fiat motor is the same as the 400gt?I"d love to have access to new motors.As I recall they didn"t look like they wanted to be rebuilt a second time. Thanks, Fred
