An archives search will turn up some posts from a few years back on a SPAL power window kit install.

I got the complete used setup from a dismantler and changed mine over. It looks stock because it is and will only enhance the value (unless you have the tank sticker).

I've talked with several members on the forum who said the Spal kit worked out great for them. Here's another link. I'll be buying soon as well for my '72. Just ordered power/remote lock kit too.

Thats the luck you guys have! Here in The Netherlands or even in Europe there are not so many corvettes around, and junkyards with corvette's are extremely rare.

Shipping a complete power windows set will set me back way to much, 1000USD if you calculate shipping, 12% duty plus 19%Sales Tax.

Think I take my change with the 35Euro universal set, it behind the door panel any way.

Thanks for your input.
