i even have a 29-41  fleetline parts manual somewere.. the retainer bosses can be drilled and tapped but better helicoiled to a small size like 8-32 /10-32.and button head allen cap screws used to hold the worm gear retainer back in place.

by the way the worm gear is pitched . i'd say left hand window .

It looks like the same one you have , send me your address and I will get in the mail. The part that has the copper tubing on it , is a repair job! That appears the only piece thats broke.

looking closer at johns first picture it appears the same part broken is what has been somewhat fixed with a piece of copper tubing in my picture.  The copper fitting used for the fix is a AC tubing size , witch is just a bit larger then regular copper sizes. This info might be usefull to someone!

Well thanks guys.  I appreciate you taking a look at the problem.  I will look into fixing the one I have but I will also look for a used one.  I have a lead on two parts cars and I need some more stuff for this one anyway.  The vent window transmission is holding up the electric window job.

The piece I have is not broken at the gears! I did not make this repair, I found it this way when I got a box of parts from a buddy. Cant say how well it works either! It looks to me that a hole was drilled in the broken part and the repair sleave , then tapped for a screw.

I am going to look at mine and see if I might be able to do something like that.
