I was thinking about what you said about the hole diameter and guide travel when I had a thought.... the guide bar is curved. Putting the strait bored bushing on might have a bit of an interference issue. Maybe cutting the bushing height down a bit would help. Here's a crude exagerated sketch of what I mean.
Other than that I'm fine in taking some 400 grit or steel wool to the bore if some "adjustment" is necessary

Pitcrew,
I'm sure if you decide to make some sets of your window bushings they will sell out. Bravo and well done for your effort :) |

Here is a shot of an installed bushing along with Troy's side guide plates. Works like a charm. I did cut the side guide plates down just a little after this picture was taken. They were binding at the top of the window guide tube where it flairs out just before it bolts to the top of the door. I should have paid more attention when Troy suggested making them 1.8 inches tall. I cut them to match the angle of the steel bracket. I will have to get another picture tomorrow to illustrate the change. Edited by pit crew - Dec/23/2017 at 7:38pm |

Nice job guys now if that would work for us pre 71 guys.
Where did you guys buy the Acetal? Thinking the rollers could be made of the same stuff if needed.

Troy and everyone else following this thread. Here is my modified version of Troy's side guide plates. Note that I cut them to match the angle of the steel bracket. This was to ensure I had clearance when it reaches the top of the window guide pole. At that point the window guide pole flairs out to accommodate the attached nut used to it bolt the pole to the top edge of the door.

Stylin'. Looks like it came of the line that way. I'd left mine with the box cut as cutting it further didn't seem to have any benefit on my set up. (ok, maybe I just got lazy). Now that I have power regulators, my setup is no longer like everyone else's though. You went to the same supply I did. They seemed to have the best selection and price for small quantity hobby orders for guys like us. |
