oh no, buddy, I'm well-aware, and would have had no choice but to buy, but "c'mon man" (<-- :roll: ) the pic should show the actual product. the friction-spinning, or perhaps lousy peening, of the shaft ends to lock them in place. slightly off-center with burrs, not precise or even close to original quality. the "lumpy" housing. the "wavy" rubber seal around the drive-gear. those noticeable details matter to me.sixsix said:Well, that bottom one looks just like every other one I have ever seen ( that style, anyway ).
Spun shaft ends...?
And I looked a quite a few when attempting to put a "Door Disassembly" Thread together. Still working on it , tho...
The real bummer is... you did not get the Good "Mexico" parts. Seriously.
When you get the old one out - if not already, pop the socket top and see what CB it has.
I have seen 4 types.
Your remarks give away your newness to good old GM aftermarket elec. stuff. Altho, I realize you are a fine mechanic, nonetheless, all the more, what w/ the muffler back knowledge.
Have you given any thought what fasteners you intend to use?
If going 1/4-20, you'll have to drill em' out slightly.
I did that, as 5/32 and 3/16, whatever I tried originally, seemed so light, allen wrench size sooo small.
and riveting was a REAL HASSLE the 1st time a decade ago. Grinding, etc.
I can direct you to the correct area of our build if you like. Door stuff is in the last few pages...
i found it quicker & easier to just grind clearance for the bottom-right hole, and use larger than OE pop-rivets. here's my popped-top.sixsix said:Well, that bottom one looks just like every other one I have ever seen ( that style, anyway ).

So what has your van been doing while you were otherwise occupied?
