window regulator pivot pin question

[sb66]

hello everyone
I have a 1984 911 carrera conv. that i need a window pivot pin for. I noticed there are 2 sizes 23 and 26mm - i am not sure what size I should order as mine is sheared a couple of mm away from the slotted head. i have seen several articles on here but I must be missing this detail for some reason (blind perhaps) -

any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

If I remember correctly the pin that usually breaks (outside of the coil) isn’t available. The pivot pin they sell is for the inside of the coil spring. It’s been awhile but I’m pretty sure you have to make your own.

oh great - - -thanks i will do a search to see if there are tips on what to use for that- do not want to have to tear the doo apart for a repeat if I can help it

thanks again

As Dpmulvan suggested, are you referring to the main pivot pin? Or the outer tension pin?

There are several threads showing fixes including using a modified shoulder bolt. Search and you'll get some ideas.
