lordleonusa Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I have a brand new pair (NOS) of those in their, even better. boxes...I was going to use them in my Vitesse, but decided I didn't want to add the extra weight.Leon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Acclaim Guru Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 They were £35 each and need to be screwed through the door card. They were designed for cars like the Maxi and the marrina, and came with a heagonal drive gear which fitted over the removed regulator handle. The handle on the Acclaim has a splined spigot, so make sure that its the correct one or you may struggle.b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toledo Man Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Why not fit electric windows from a scrapped CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huffy Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 hello Dan, not triumph/honda parts bin but there is a eastern connection........ i visited a local breakers yard, and a daihatsu fourtrack gave up it's door pockets for the greater good! :'( i thanked it, raided it, and fitted it to a car 15 years older ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I love the chunkiness of the electric window switces - great job fitting them.I'm impressed with the side pockets, very impressed. Normally I'm a traditionalist, but I would be tempted if I could have those fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Acclaim Guru Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 the door pockets were a gineric accessory bit made by some company in hong kong I think. you could buy them from car accessory shops, or from Austin rover.b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huffy Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 they are close in colour, but with me using the car as my everyday car i neede a bit of storage and thought they would suit the car, look for a daihatsu fourtrack 3door and u should be able to pilfer them , ;)the windows are pretty quiet in operation just a little whine when used :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
