85 Coupe Window Regulator (boring, I know)



Hi all -

Many thanks to the folks who responded to my query on the OXS light for my
85 Coupe, esp. John, Tony, Huw and Scott.  

After waxing the hell out of my car last weekend I got brave and took the
passenger's door panel off to see what was up with the window - and there
was NO mechanism.  The window was held up by a stick inside the door.

Wrapped in a towel in the trunk I found the window mechanism; from what I
can gather, the cable broke and the previous owner took it apart but never
got it back together.  It looks like he bought a new cable but there are a
gazzilion plastic bits.  I think I can suss out how it all goes together,
but my question is this:  exactly how long should the cable be?  My fear is
that he just bought a generic cable and I figure it needs to be an exact
length down to the mm for the mechanism to work properly.

Does anyone sell a rebuild kit with instructions?

Go ahead, tell me to RTFM but I haven't bought the Bentley book yet ($$$).  

It's the only thing wrong with the car but I shouldn't complain for $1800.
Even the AC works.
