A part needed for BLUMAX

[blumax]

The venerable BLUMAX needs a passenger side manual window regulator, either new or in very good used operating condition.

He needs the entire regulator, his slips.

I recently repaired my passenger side regulator. So, I think I know what is wrong with it. Unfortunately, it is a very difficult repair. That hard part is finding a material that will work for that specific area. It has to be hard enough to stand up to wear and not give under load but soft enough to be able to be upset during expansion and not crack. I still have the drawing of the part that probably needs to be replaced but I don't have any more of that material.

If you can't find a replacement regulator, I can try to repair it. I will need the regulator to determine the cause of failure. If I am right about the failure I will also need some time to try to locate the right material. Unfortunately, my approach will will not be a quick fix.

When my driver side regulator failed many years ago it was still available new and was not that expensive. I don't know if they are still available new but I am sure it is very pricey if it is available.

Last year I checked and both sides were available at roughly $200 each from "BluntTech.com" <[email protected]>

Do you have any of the material available as a sample? I can see if my nephew can find some.
