I've been ill for a while but now I'm getting better I thought it was time to get back into whitey project and so started with something I've been meaning to do for some time... hand cranked windows.
Thanks to the kind donation from Oscar I had a complete set to convert my car thought there has always been a question mark over whether its worth the effort? Would there be any weight savings and how much work is required?
I can say IMHO its well worth doing, the hand crank hardware weighs around 1.5kg whereas the motor/bracketry of the electric windows weighs around 5kg. They take about 1hr each to do, and in the case of the rear doors, the winders come out where the old window switches were.
Weight comparison:
Next item.... sports seats (pair)... hopefully...
