Location: Belgium, 40 miles south of Brussels | Hello,
I will be soon reproducing the plastic connectors for '60-'64 Power Window switches, with the same quality and accurateness of the '57-'59 I have reproduced so far.
As far as I know, there was 3 different designs over those years : 1st gen : split master switch, plate covers screwed on 2nd gen : split master swith with a longer end (provides more space for the wiring of the last 2 pins), plate covers screwed on 3rd gen : split master swith with a longer end, plate covers thermally riveted
I will reproduce the 2nd generation, which can be used on every car of those years. The only difference you might have is that the plate cover of the 1st gen master switch will be smaller, and thus a little part of the end (3mm / 0.12") will not be covered.
Now, in order to get my first batch done, I need commitments to buy a minimum of 9 sets (1 master / 3 singles). The price will be around the same as the '57-'59 sets, thus $60.00 plus $8.00 worldwide shipping.
If you are interested and would like to commit to buy a set, please let me know in this thread, write me a PM or an e-mail at "powerwindows at orange.fr"
Thank you.
The picture shows what I'll be reproducing, but instead of the big plastic pins, there will be holes for screws.

Location: Belgium, 40 miles south of Brussels | Allright, three months have passed and I must say I do not have a lot of interest in those reproductions, apart from Powerflite and Phatton (thank you guys).
As I need a minimum of 9 sets to make the production of the first batch, I still need 7 people who are interested and are willing to commit.
If you are interested and would like to commit to buy a set, please let me know in this thread, write me a PM or an e-mail at "powerwindows at orange.fr"
Thank you.

Location: christchurch New Zealand | Yes would be interested in 2 sets, again subject to cost, if similar cost to 57-59 ones that would be fine.
Thanks Geoff |

I still am, depending on price.
Price would be identical to the '57-'59 sets : $33 per master, $9 per single (and therefore $60 for a full set). |

Location: Belgium, 40 miles south of Brussels | Just a quick preview...
I did not realize that the black die I asked (it is the OEM color on those) was only superficial.
So the final rework on them revealed a little bit of the white plastic core, but it doen't alter the functionality at all.

| Any idea if these will fit Imperials? I bought some of the 57-59 ones from you and they were exactly the same for Imperials |

I'm not 100% sure, because sometimes Imperial parts are different from the others, but I'm confident they will fit.
You can buy a set, and if they don't fit, I'll refund you and take them back (your shipping). |
