Default Vent window regulators

I am rebuilding my vent window regulators on a 1964 Corvette. I can find rebuild kit at several sites but none of them have the shaft where the handle connects. I need this part. Any suggestions?

This part may be hard to source. Best bet is to check E-bay to see who is selling rebuilt regulators, and then see if they have some extra shafts they will sell.

You might also try America's Finest Corvettes in California. They make the rebuild kits and also sell rebuilt units (if I remember correctly).

Worst case is buy a new vent regulator(s) from TRIM PARTS. They are essentially a correct reproduction of the originals.

Default Coupe or vert?

I think I have a spare from my 65 where the case is shot but probably has the part your looking for. I think they are different for a coupe vs a vert.

The three mid-year vent regulator types/models are for:
1) 63-64 Coupe
2) 63-64 Convertible and 65-67 Coupes
3) 65-67 Convertible.

Andreolr needs one for a 64 convertible.....so 65-67 coupe vent regulator shaft should also fit (be the same).
