Today I replaced my front door speakers on my 87 Westy--with Rockford
Fosgate, 4' 2 ways---and the window crank hitting the speaker as you
crank the window up or down syndrome struck---
The Rockford's are a little bit taller than the Blaupunkt's I have in my
85 GL, and the small washer spacer behind the handle wasn't going to
work----
I discovered the absolute easiest resolve of all---
I took some 1/8th inch syn-flex air line ( the air line for the
brakes on a Mack, or any other semi ) and simply cut off a 1/16th inch
piece of the plastic line with a razor blade, and dropped it into the
back side of the crank, around the screw----mounted the crank on the
splined shaft, and ran down the screw-----
This was enough to clear the speaker grills, with room to spare----
This was the easiest way I have resolved this common problem to
date-----fast, simple, and it works----
Any truck parts department would most likely give you a short length of
this stuff, because you won't need that much--ask them for an inch of
it----that's all you'll need to get the job done---
Later
