I'm thinking it was several of the ones near the opening that the regulator arms come through on both sides. This allowed that opening to be expanded enough to get the winder mechanism or arms through. After that, everything bolted in place and worked well.

BB........Read CAREFULLY just above from
JM 35 Sedan. He explains how he installed the same (DRAKE) regulator in his '35 Ford. You will need to remove the INSIDE windshield trim pieces. This will allow you to see the fasteners that secure the TOP edge of your dashboard. You will need to remove several fasteners at the TOP of dash so that you can flex the top edge of dash to make enough room to slide the new mechanism in. Make sure you lubricate the TEETH and winding mechanism on the new assembly with white lithium grease, or equivalent. Hope this helps. I'm sure that if you have questions, you can PM
JM 35 Sedan and he will give you GOOD advice. DD
