Although it is easy to lean over and wind up or down the windows on the other side of the car, the winder handle gets in the way of my knee, and its uncomfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found an electric window kit online for about \u00a370. So the challenge was set, fit electric windows to my mid engined Spitfire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kit is designed for a modern day car, so the loom is massive, it also comes with 3 switches, 2 for the driver’s door and one for the passenger door, I wanted the switches in the centre console, so was only going to use 2 of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kit is well made, the “bits” look substantial and quality<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fitting the motor was quite easy, the kit includes the fittings for the spit\u2019s winder handle. I had to recess the handle mechanism by 6mm, the kit includes the spacers, you have to lose the bottom front bolt. As per picture you use the spit\u2019s bolts and the supplied fittings (cut down and drilled)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
