Window motors

[Mikes2esprit1979]

Electric window motors finaly gave up today drivers one is dead and the passengers is lazy. Ive had them rebuilt several times and i think its time to buy new ones.

Anyone know if these motors are fitted to other cars ?

Who has the best price for them?

Thanks

Mine are GM Delco units (probably originally from 70s Vauxhall Ventora) Look the same as Chevrolet Caprice/ Camaro etc(USA)

The S2 uses Lucas one very similar to Jaguar XJ6. I got a couple off a wrecked Jag for use in our project S1. The motor is the same but the arm is ~1inch shorter. So requires simple cut and shut with hacksaw and basic welder. The 'thimble' that lifts the window is on the opposite side of the arm so you flip it at the same time. The motors sit the other way up to Jag so LHS door Jag fits RHS Lotus. Not a precision job so a simple job for someone that can use a welder.

Windows performance can be improved by the use of larger cables or relays. Also strip the lifter switches and check condition/clean.

Here are some discussion about window-rollers we changed. If its any help...

Might be good to check at the same time if you change those motors.

If I were you I would change over to the later Delco units, those Jag/Lucas lift motors are terrible even when they were new
