ggzilla Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I have used both Ford and GM motors and switches. I custom made my own for Datsun 1200 like this, it might work for the 521 also: 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm piqued at the possibility of power glass as well. Show us your build/mods! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Yes, Build thread: Power Windows has more pictures and information. Here's my power window solution. All that was needed was a hacksaw, a brake (sheet metal bender) and a drill. And some heavy-gauge sheet metal. It worked first time. Total cost: $30 USD (in 1984 dollars). Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 I used the power windows from an S110 in my 620. Just swapped the glass over to the lifting mechanism drilled a hole and riveted a metal strap across an opening. Used the older style GM switches so I could work the pass side one as well. They worked the first try. Since then I 'collected' the power windows (four door) from an '84 Maxima... haven't tried them yet in my 710. Not surprising I haven't seen them in years. They're under my junk pile of parts. Quote Link to comment
ZackTheImpaler Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 You've probably got a whole universe of hard to find parts under parts!

datzenmike Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'm afraid the pile will exceed the Schwarzchild radius and implode. Quote Link to comment
