window rollers

Post by Ausjacko »

OK, am working on another project and need new window rollers. Channel is 17.5mm or 11/16th wide but thinner than the ford one-doh! The repro rollers are apparently dodgy and the alternative is apparently made by 23yr old virgins in a mountain retreat in Tibet costing $20 for one type and $42 each! I kid you not.
Any suggestions (useful ones) on sourcing alternatives?
Cheers

Jacko, do you have a sample? Take some measurements and I am sure someone with a lathe will be only too willing to help.
Even my little sucker may be able to handle it.

If they are not as wide as ford ones, you could probably just machine the ford ones down a little in the centre. As long as the pin through the middle is the same size.
