I was at Rare Spares today and noticed you can buy rebuild kits for HQ-era Holden window regulators.
This is something I've been wondering about lately for LH/LX/UC series Torana's, as my driver's side regulator is completely knackered. The little rolly wheels are broken, the splines where the window winder goes onto are totally stripped etc... I have been meaning to hit a wrecker to find a replacement, however even if I find a good one, it's still going to be 30 years old.
Is this something that others would be interested in too??

Pretty sure you can buy the un-punched pin and plastic wheels from Repco.
I have seen them on EBAY too.
You would need to drill yours out and re-punch the pin/roller thing.
(I actually made one from a roller of a sliding door - 10.5mm dia x 2.5mm,
just from Bunnings. Cost about $6 for a pair, threw out the adjuster bits)
Better to have the real deal though I think. Or go VT commode electrics!!!
JFTR I have a passenger one and two old Merc power window switches that
were going to go on mine at some stage
Next one!!
