I've managed to break both window winders(broke the shaft, not the mechanism) and i'm on the hunt (eBay first stop) for suitable replacements......any suggestions what I should get? And where I can get them from.

Thanks.....

If it helps, one of mine broke on my Vixen S3 and I found that a Hillman Hunter (of all the ones to choose !!) fits with the arm shortened & and welded at an angle, but new mounting bolt holes need to be drilled in the door. The shaft is the same size and type as original, so it isn't visible...

Early 1600M ones are lengthened BL origin, 1100/1300 and I believe Midget are the same, I seem to remember pulling a pair out of the rear doors of an 1100 many years ago when mine stipped. Geoff

There are 5 and 6 tooth pinions and assoc gears within the units (and they do not mix)....I have spares to rebuild these AND if they have not been done before convert the R to the L AND the L to the R (assuming they are the same AND they have not been done before) for a TOTAL rebuild...IF you get stuck.
