window winder mechanism was created by peter stockwell
Hi, im slowly putting back together a restored x19 1978. It came with a mix of both types of electric window winder mechanisms, large metal one which bolts to the glass and a small one with cable, but no manual ones. Is the 1978 model supposed to be electric or manual.. Also looks very difficult job so thinking of purchasing the manual ones, any advice happily received. The 2 doors on the vehicle are not quite the same either. The one with the mechanism fitted I did but does not fit in the door very well. I cad check movement as the vehicle wiring all need sorting. Any help appreciated. thanks pete.

1978 cars should have manual window winders as standard.
I wonder whether your car has had the doors replaced at some point with later ones that can take an electric motor?
Electric window motors weren't fitted as standard until the VS came out in 1983/84.
Manual winders and the cabling are a complete bar***rd to fit

Thanks, it does have a 1 different door, I brought it and had been restored, resprayed and half put back together. Engine was also in bits but thats been rebuilt now. Not sure what to do about the doors, one manual and one electric, best try and convert the other to electric but doesnt look easy
