[DeTomaso] Weight Reduction

[Bill Lewis]

Also, he could convert from elec to mechanical window raisers.  He could engineer it so that it operates with a separate, removable handle, which he carries in his pocket.  And, if it is in his pocket, not attached to the car, it does not count as part of the car's weight!  Sorta like the government moves money/debt around to suit its accounting needs.   ---Bill

In the process I drilled a couple extra, unnecessary holes until I got the motor mounted on the regulator correctly. We joked that the extra holes were for weight reduction, yeah, that's what I was thinking. LOL  Anyway I was just sitting here thinking that it really did reduce a little weight with no apparent negative effect, which then made me think of Jack DeRyke and his weight reduction quest. The regulator is pretty heavy and I'm sure it is heavier than it needs to be. So there you go Jack, I'll bet you could shave at least a pound and you could probably do it without removing the regulator. Check it out!
