The horizontal bar is bolted to the door using long enough bolts and spacers( I used tubing) to line up with the window track and it supports the motor and the bottom of the power window track, I've been looking to see if I have any pictures but haven't found any yet...

 

That makes sense. Thanks

 

This instruction sheet from Mid Fifty makes it pretty clear.

Instructions - Mid Fifty F-100 Parts

I can't tell from the pictures if the the tubing is 1" or 3/4"

 

I am installing this kit. So far it's going okay, I will get a better install documented on the build thread that I have. Still need to catch up to where I am now, but it will be there.

 

I used a piece of scrap angle from a Yamaha out board motor crate for mine, doesn't really matter as long as it gets the job done...

 

I'm starting my install and have questions. I have 2 different instructions and one says put the motor on the hinge side the other says put it on the latch side. I like it better on the hinge side, does it make a difference?

I followed the dimensions for the locating the unit in the door. It centers it in the panel opening/door. It seems to be slightly off center. Should the vertical bar be perfectly in the center glass? (I am keeping the vent windows)

 

Finished the instl. of my Nu-relics one piece electric windows in my 52.
Motor unit was a bolt in deal in the original holes.
Forming the felts was a bitch until I carried them down with one window to an old time glass company which did them in about 45 minutes!
I trashed several trying myself but I was keeping my hands too close trying to bend them. This guy worked about a foot or more apart with his hands and wider.
They went in like a dream, I cut them off to the correct lengths and the window roll up and down like a dream.

I got the driver side done. It works great. The hardest part was determining the correct spacers to use. Once I got that the unit fit in the door perfectly. Now the other side should be a lot quicker. I need new glass so I will get that before I take it apart so I can do it all at once.

 

Could you post a picture on how you got power into the door?

 

Here is the way I got the wiring into the door on my 52.
I've got the info on how and where I drilled, etc

I like using these looms because they are less likely to bind because of the pivots and slide much easier

I used these looms for the wires.

I originally drilled the holes in the center of the door jamb but the bend was too tight. I used the hole for the dome light switch which is very close to the inner edge of the jamb and it worked much better.

Mine is a 56 and the door angle is different than the 52 like tractormanbill showed

 

Tractormanbill, Can you PM or email me that information... How was the drilling?

 

Thanx John

I had the ones Smallello used and I did not like the crimp in the tubing when door was wide open. I like the design of the electric life product you used so I ordered them.
I actually looked into a hyme joint to see if I could make the ones I have work but it would have been totally to big.
On a side note if anyone on here needs a power window kit, bought from Mid-Fifties with install kit, never been used. I bought the Nu-Relics. It is yours for the cost of shipping.
