Re: '40 Ford window regulator repair
An update. I found if you remove the lower travel stop bolt, the main frame can now move away from the main gear, allowing full access to either side of the drive assembly. The only modification is removing about an 1/8" X 3/4" strip of metal at the end of the gear, above the stop bolt, to allow the drive gear clearance to re-engage the main gear.
Next is removal of the OE shaft pin and installing the supplied bushing for the new pin which comes pressed into the new shaft.
Original rivets were 5/32" and is what I'll use, either the supplied solid or on-hand tube style. With full access to the cup, pop rivets are not needed or the best option imo.
