Title: Fiat 131 Racing Window Regulator
Post by: cypriot on June 05, 2012, 02:10:57 PM
Hi all,

I am new in this forum. I am not sure if I am at the right section but I should ask this.

I have 1981 Fiat 131 2.0 TC Racing (Gr. 4 Abarth Tarmac rally car replica) which I try to complete restoration.

I try to find window regulator / winders for this vehicle. According to the web search 2 door 131 window regulator / winder diffrent than 4 door (front doors) window regulator / winder.

by the way both parts looks same,

what is the difference? length of wire ?

cheers

Ali

I always thought the windows regulators were different between 2 and 4 door cars. Must be the length of the wire as I can't see why else they'll be different. I have managed (twice) to change the cable in the regulator of my Silver Sport. I used picture hanging wire from a local frame shop and it proved strong enough. So if your problem is a broken wire then you may be able to change it.

Hello,

as I know and according to my repairman, 2 door & 4 door window regulators looks some and his only idea is the wire length should be a different.

by the way I have only one window regulator (its wire faulty) and the other one missing.

In North Cyprus it is easy to find body parts if it is not 2 door specific.

cheers

Hi all,

I just came back from spare parts shop and

131 4 door front window regulators are same with the 2 door window regulators.

Only difference is a 2 door window regulator has 10 - 15cm longer wire  ;D

and it is possible to replace wire with longer one

I hope this information help other 131 enthusiast
