Vader Custom Window Regulator sets For Sale

Hi Michael,

Thank you for the introduction and for making us aware of the window regulators. That kit has always been regarded as a quality solution from what I've heard.

I purchased my Pantera as a project from Ted a few years ago. Rick and Ted help me load it up. This was also when Gail was with us. They are both missed dearly. I will save up my money for the Vader regulator kit, as i need one myself. 

Please give our best to Rick and your family.

Is information and Vader Systems still available ?

What is the weight saving over the stock system?

I have a pair in a box and can weigh them, I want to say it's a good few pounds. One advantage is they allow the glass to retract all the way into the door, plus they are faster and because of the wires don't bind the glass like the originals can.

Anyone have a pair to sell?   Sadly no response from the original poster.

I installed my Vader kit in Oct 2006 and wrote it up in the POCA Newsletter, with illustrations. According to that article, the weight savings was 6.5 lbs/door. It was also one of a very few installations on a Pantera that nearly fell together and has since given zero problems. Note that on one side, the extreme bottom of the glass hit the lumpy factory undercoating inside the door skin before fully retracting. This required some careful tar removal with solvent & a rag. Only on one side, though. Color me satisfied. Thanks, Ted!

Is there any chance you can post the write up?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

I want this article 

I will order the Oct.2006 Newsletter.

I have Vader Window Regulators installed on # 1791.

The first thing I noticed is the Light Weight Feel to the doors.

It requires a little extra momentum to close the doors to compensate otherwise the system works great.( I have nothing to compare it to other than other Ferrari and Maserati Exotics ) but it seems a faster and smoother operation.

Thanks again for the article.

Oops,

I forgot I'm a member.

I downloaded and printed your article.

Thanks Bosswrench & Joules

Does it matter which electric motor you have. I already changed out the original motors for the Taurus motors.

Doug,

 The original lifting mechanism and the motor is totally replaced by the new modified cable system and its motor.

 I will update this post later today with a photo of each

Does anyone happen to have a copy of Ted's installation instructions?

Old and new

You are "The Man"  thanks and Happy New Year !

Awesome, thanks Larry!

Is the Vader setup available yet?  I tried getting in touch with the email that was given - but no luck - anyone have any words of advise on purchasing a new pair?

 I bought my set probably a year and a half ago. Communication with Michael through email was spotty but eventually everything fell together. 

 This is just a little side business for the sellers and I believe they make them in batches. High demand will clean them out until they can get together and fabricate new stock.

 Keep in mind, also, the busy holiday time of the year that usually slows down even professional businesses, much less a hobbyist venture such as these window lifts .
