 |
|
I have the frames (repro) for the driver and passenger door windows for a bd 1951 and wonder if the glass and hardware can be found ready-to-use off-the-shelf.
I need the hardware, i.e. the correct handles for the ventilation and for the sliding window. Repro, NOS or used would do.
Any tips would be appreciated.

| you can get the sliding window butterfly latch from Argentina from Splitpartsunlimited I think. I'll look and see if that is the correct user name. But the vent wing handle/latch I've only seen nos or used. I'm looking for a set myself. |

Thanks a lot for this info, will consult with the 'Secretary of Finance' at home 
What about the glass, did you have it already? I have just the frame (repro) and need to buy the glass as well. Is it available out there or is best to order it new? In that case I would need the measures since it must be perforated for the latches.

Is there a difference, if any, in the 2 large lateral glasses of the door window frame between barndoor and later (after march 55) split window buses?
At the moment I have a late (after march 55) split window bus model of the door frame in my 1951 barndoor.
I will replace it with the correct early bd 'piano hinge' frame. I have solved the 'piano hinge' glass so my query does not refer to that one.
Will the 2 lateral large glasses just fit from the later frame to the early bd correct 'piano hinge' frame (with exception of the catch)? Is it perhaps a difference in the hole made in the glass to fit the catches?
PS: Borrowed pic that shows a late bd sorry for that.

I am trying to conclude if I NEED at all the 2 lateral large glasses or if I can use the ones (later model) that I already have and put them in the bd frame.
