McMaster sells 14 1/2 degree pressure angle gears.

The gears on the window motors are NOT 14 1/2 degree pressure angle gears.

You don't have to understand the exact theory of conjugate action of gear teeth, but you must at least know this much: 20 degree pressure angle gears and 14 1/2 degree pressure angle gears DO NOT LIKE EACHOTHER!

I would suggest that you call Berg (wmberg.com) or Stock Drive Products (sdp-si.com) or PIC Design (pic-design.com) or if you are in a REAL hurry and have buckets-o-cash you can call Rush Gears (rushgears.com).

One nice thing about rush gears is that they have NO stock on hand but for the right amount of money stuffed in their palms they will cut (not wire EDM, cut, I say) you almost ANYTHING you want in any material you want and have it on your DOCK in 3 days. Very impressive company. I wish I could afford them more often ;-)

Anyway.... Bottom Line: If you are looking for a mate to the gear on the window motor, don't get a 14 1/2 degree pressure angle gear (which I believe is the only pressure angle gears that McMaster sells).
