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 Title: Re: Fiat 131 Racing Window Regulator Post by: Thotos on June 05, 2012, 03:02:27 PM 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 Ali Title: Re: Fiat 131 Racing Window Regulator Post by: cypriot on June 09, 2012, 09:54:12 AM 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 |
