Approaches to Electrical Window conversion?

I ran few searches first looking for electric window conversions and the like and drew mostly blanks so here's my question for ya'all

 

Anybody have direct experience or recommendations for adapting older model car electric window motors to the 70-76 door regulators that can be positioned on the inside of the lower door area? I am thinking of reversing crank handle rod in regulator and mounting a small pulley on inside of door to be driven by a rubber belt down to reduction gear motor assembly in the lower forward dead space on an S30 door to see if it'll work properly. Looking to see if I can develop a compact enough system to avoid interfering with glass movement. My hopes are that a rubber belt system might be quieter and smoother than other types of motor driven systems.

 

I have looked into the commercial system tha SPAL offers at http://www.spal-usa.com/html/mampss.htm, but I would really like to make the effort to develop my own system from available off the shelf and junk yard parts.

I did some investigating a while back. I tried to adapt ZX power to a 280Z, close but no cigar. I'm going to use somewthing like the kit you posted, it'll be much easier then creating something. You can cover the spline with the switch, so it will look good. The kit will allow you to put the motor in the dead area.
