Hi all you Sprint owners - does anyone have the need for a repair fix for their rear window winder mech which is invariably rusted to death, making the window inoperable?
Me too and my friend Gary Fisher of Totallyalfa.com is currently making me some repair sections (the toothed hinged part - see pic below) for my mechs, out of stainless steel. This should enable the rusted bits to be removed, the backplate wire brushed and repainted / treated and then the new stainless hinged mech to be bolted back on. Fingers crossed this will solve the problem.
If there is enough demand for bits like this, he can make a batch. I’ll keep you all posted.

I left mine to soak in diesel for a few days and it freed them up.

Really? I didn't realise you could use diesel for derusting. I'm hoping that replacing the armature with stainless will avoid having to worry about it ever again.

Well diesel is not a rust eater but makes a good releasing fluid with the advantage that it does not evaporate.
