The window winder motor on my my friend's 96 model Spirit has a broken plastic gear in the window winder motor assembly. Where can I buy a replacement gear from?
Thanks to all.

You might have better luck if you were to do a web search for nylon gears.

don't think you can get them and if you where in the UK i would say have a look in the Scrap yards
as there must have been used for something else

thanks for the responses.
It would be easy enough for me to take one off my scrapped Bentley Turbo R that I bought as a source of parts. The trouble is, it would have the same age related brittleness that will cause it to eventually fail again. I was hoping to be able to buy a new part made from fresh plastic that can at least survive another decade or two.
The search goes on.

As you can salvage an example of the required gear from your scrapped Turbo R, why not use this as a template to cast a plastic replica gear? As a first step I suggest you contact a local dental technician for advice - think plastic plates for false teeth.
