68-70 AMX & Jav Window Stabilizer Kit

Thanks for choosing me Chris ! !

I love new stuff and crave working with new ideas that improve our cars

I intended to include those with the rollers, but haven't been able to find any supplier that makes a wave washer comparable to the originals. The closest ones apply 6-7 lbs of force at the roughly 0.060" of compression the we have, where the originals measure at only 3 lbs. I haven't installed any of the heavier washers to try it, but I'd expect them to wear the rollers faster and also I'd expect that the additional force expanding the rollers could make the windows noticeably harder to roll up and down.

The stock wave washers are:

  OD = 0.750"

  ID = 0.435"

  Thick = 0.010"

It really needs to be close to 0.750" OD to hold the rollers stable, though smaller OD gives lower loads. Almost everything I can find is 0.011" thick or thicker, so that's a big part of the problem. And many have a smaller ID than 0.435", so that adds more spring material, increasing the load.

I almost have to wonder if AMC didn't have those made specifically for this application. They would have needed hundreds of thousands of them, so it would have been no problem.
