Default Need HELP Vent Window Regulator problem..

Hello
I rebuilt my Vent regulators last week. Both were in pieces when I took it out of the door. One shaft is small with one ring around it. The other shaft is longer with three rings around it..

Which one is correct? I think its the three ring shaft is corrrect for a 1963-64 convertible..I think the other is for a 1963 coupe..Since these were in pieces when I pulled them out I am missing this flat thin washer that goes in front inside housing of the shaft..I cant find it anywhere I have looked!!!

Also does anyone know were I can buy a new shaft without buying the whole new vent window regulator? Does anyone sell parts separately?
Does anyone have any parts they are willing to sell?

Thanks
Pete

Pete:

I have the guts for one from a 65 convertible. It has the three ring shaft. (ballentine beer anyone?)

I'll send it to you. If you can use the parts please send me back the short shaft you have and we can call it even.

Just PM me with your address.
