Hi
My spider was imported from USA to the UK 15 years ago. It was produced in 1981 as a turbo. Turbo was since removed and converted back to a single carb 28/32 Webber automatic choke. I am slowly putting in back to its glory days.... Spare Turbo anybody?
By the way I am struggling to remove the window regulator crank. I can't locate the spring clip holding it. Where can I get hold of the tool to do this properly?
Thanks for info.
Gerald

Also, Auto Ricambi US has the window crank removal tool that you need. It can be sourced elsewhere, of course, but these folks are very highly regarded here on the Forum.

Hi Gerald, where in UK are you based?

hello and welcome,

the easiest way i have found to get the clip out of the window crank on any car is with a towel,

here is a youtube showing how, works great and you dont scratch your door card

hello and welcome.when i was younger i used a coat hanger, i cut off the long part and bent one end
into a handle"3 inch loop"and just at the other end i bent a small hook,then reach under the handle
and hook the spring.then pull it off.
also get a 32/36 if you can,you will feel a differance.

i have never seen the towel trick but it looks simple

again hello form wisconsin .joe
