1966-1968 Phillips Window Lifter Attachment Hardware Problem Solved

All,

The replacement Phillips window lifter available at VTS part number VTS-288 needs adapter to secure the window "arm" to the gear arm of the replacement lifter.

I was able to use a 5/16" bolt along with (3) 5/16" washers(so the arm will have clearance from the lifter gear arm).
**I trimmed the length of the bolt with my dremel to allow an "E" clip to be used to secure the window arm to the new lifter gear arm which looks very similar to the original method.

**Photos attached**

Also, there are no attachment screws with the VTS-288 to attach it to the window frame. The screws needed are #8-32x3/4" flat head phillips screws sold at Lowe's or Home Depot.
