Title: Window winder nylon wheel (roller)
Post by: Wasim on January 08, 2023, 03:36:01 PM
Hello,
       what is the best replacement for these wheels on the window winder mechanism?

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Wasim

I think I’ve answered my own question.

I purchased some 23mm nylon ball bearing pulley wheels - which is the size that fits inside the glass runner.

The photos show the original versus the modifications.

Hello Al - Ebay - search "Nylon ball bearing pulley wheels" - find a vendor - from memory there are 4 sizes - select 23mm - I paid $6.60 for 8 wheels (no freight).

Bunnings sell them as well - but I couldn't get 23mm.

Regards, Wasim

PS - don't let earlybitz know anotherwise they will be $100 each!!!!
