quick ratio, RHD manual steering box, + manual front windows

[daicos35]

I know of the LHD 19.1:1 quick turn manual box for the CSL (I believe the standard manual box was 16.4:1), does anyone know if they made a 19.1:1 RHD manual box?
Also, does anyone know where i might source manual front window winding mechanism/ kit along with the manual switch blank outs for the csl ,
Thx

Seems that mechanical, rhd q/r steering units are available from BMW as single parts only, but Walloth und Nesch have them for EUR 99:

(scroll down to steering).

Mechanical window lifts are available from BMW at something like USD 300 per side :shock:. The cranks are USD 70 each:

There's a post (next one down at the moment) where it appears a fellow in California is giving them away. See:

Perhaps you could reason with him to send them to you.

Good chance Wolloth u. Nesch would have the lifts as well. Or try Jaymic?

If you do manage to track some mecanical winders down could you put them on the scales along with the power winders ?, always wonderd what sort of weight saving they made.

I didn't weigh the hand winders before I put them in (guessing 2-3lbs per side) but the weight savings is...SUBSTANTIAL!!
