Hi All,
Can someone please remind me what the kit to turn and oval into a split is called again? Does anyone know if anyone makes fibreglass ones?

NO! That is U L G Y! Good to see someones thinking out the square a little.
I just want to know if anyone makes the little bar that goes down in between the 2 little windows.
Really want a glass one so if I want to take it back I only have to sand not cut and weld.

You cant just buy the centre bar........
Unless someone has it cut from a factory split oval.

They make a couple of fibreglass kits in the states and england.
This consists of the whole window sections tho.

But why would you really want to ruin a good 54 by puttn a split kit in the back window!!!!???
Unless you are going the whole hog and tracking the full dash,with gauges and centre unit and factory 1 piece window doors.

Ya not loosing your focus are ya?

Not sure what I'm doing at the moment, thinking of doing the bar only and leaving dash, tail lights etc like a Zwitter.
This is the section I am after.

you gotta admit the little two toner is a very good and cleaver idea.

Heath i still have not found that mag yet but i know i have it

Theres more to it than just 2 back windows.
Zwitters have a number of other small details that are different to Ovals, so some people will always be able to tell em apart. I don't know all the differences but there are some. Arent the shape of the windows slightly different to begin with, I think Ovals are "rounder" at the ends. Also other trim stuff on the dash etc...
Best to make it a nice oval IMO, but hey its your car

I do like that rear window/hatch idea 🙂 I wonder how hard it would be to do here........

Sorry guys, wasn't really thinking of doing this. Why would I wreck a good 54? Just wanted to see if anyone had done it, and the reaction it would get. Not loosing any focus!.
