Greased and installed the cable, aligned the drive wheel on the motor and tested it for operation and sweep. Pushed the cable through and cut off the excess length, noted that the knurls were turning opposite, as the arms will park toward the center and sweep out. With one end installed in the passenger transmission I tweaked the bend, marked and cut the length and reinstalled the final tube. I mounted the drive motor in the passenger kickpanel and used a piece of coathanger to find the proper bend radius and approximate length. With the transmissions reinstalled the tube connected easily. I used this to align the transmissions and bend/attach the connecting tube for the cable drive. I made a cardboard template to match that angle and marked the transmission stem locations. The inside of the cowl matches the angle of the split windshield. Used their cast bezels and mounted the transmissions.
Took my time reading the instructions and watching their video. Time passes, money finally saved up, purchased the kit from Speciality Power Windows. You might consider giving them a call, see what they recommend. When I called the Tech Support he said they sell these Ford Tower kits to Chevy owners. in my '37 Chevy build, so I'll graft in a Vette wiper motor and Fab the Arms. I'm using a 2008 C6 Corvette Steering Column and Instrument Panel, wiring etc.
The gaskets are mounted with a good tight Lip around the edges, they might sell them separately. The distance from the bottom of the Tower to the bottom of the gear / chain for the Trans, is about an Inch and a half. I'm surprised that you don't have room for Drake's kit. When I called them on the quality, they said Ya we know and no refund. Piss poor workmanship, pitted and flat gaskets that look like they were punched from an inner tube. I don't know the maker - But their total import Junk.
Yep, I've got pair of these or similar Towers from Chevy's of the 40's.
