Larry,
I just repaired an absolutely &^#(at) axle and housing of the window raiser, on Dad's MkI Tiger.
Go to any wreckers of Rootes cars. Buy an old window winder plate, size doesn't matter, but it needs to be in good condition. Remove the winder axle and housing from the plate, by drilling out the rivetts. The axle and housing can be disassembled easily and the original seven tooth cog from your (Alpine) winder should be put into the new housing with the rest of the springs and cups etc. (My experience is that everything is the same except for the cog which runs the winder, some have seven teeth others have six. On my replacement the six tooth cog still wound the window but didn't really fully lock in, so I swapped the seven tooth gear from the original back in.)
The new housing can be rivetted or spot welded into place. I used monel rivetts.
If it sounds confusing don't worry. Once you have the replacement in front of you everything will become clear.
Total cost $AUS20 (~$US 12) for the repair.
Now I have windows which wind up and down and lock into place like a brand new car.
Anthony.
