Convert the Brat to Power Windows??


Recommended Posts

I wanna convert my brat to Power Windows. Today at the junkyard I found a 2door GL10 Coupe, '83, EA81. I know the doors match, so would I just take the window and the power window guts from the GL10 doors and put them in the Brat? Will it all bolt up? Also, can I just hot-wire the switches and forget about all the wiring and the harness? I dont plan on using the center console with the switches, i will just have one switch on the passenger side door, and 2 switches on the drivers side door (one for each door).

 

Anybody have any idea's for me? Or suggestions?

Hey Brian, you don't even need the glass, as it will be different, jes make sure you get the innards that make it work, as for the switches, if you want door mounted ones, look for a 3dr with power windows, they had two switches on the the Dr door, and 1 switch on the Pas door. The wireing will work the same, you might have to swap out a connecter or two, but they are the same.

 

I was going to do this with mine, and this is how I was going to do it.

from the door, you just need the motor, regulator (geared thing) where it all attaches to the bottom of the glass. and the wiring to the door, and under the drivers seat. not sure if there's more....

 

the regular crank regulator bolts up to the glass the same way... if the doors are the same color as your brat, it would be easier to grab the door, and put the brat glass in it :)

The power steering is easy - I'm going to do that on mine as well. I talked to Mudrat about it - he said it's basically plug and play, and since there's no electrical parts for the PS, it's REALLY easy.

 

And as for the doors - keep em anyway - you never know when you might gert another Brat, and you could always paint them. Easy to paint a door cause it's already off the vehicle.
