side window size
binner - May 26th, 2012 at 04:38 PM

Hi , can anyone tell me the size of the early bus side windows. I have a cunning plan for my dual cab but need to get a ballpark size of the side windows.It doesn't need to be exact just within 5 mm :lol:

Thanks Klaus , but I want to see if I can use the rubbers specified and fit my own cut laminated glass. I was hoping that the moulded rubber would be close to the size of the cab windows as I don't want vent windows in the rear.
Is the glass bigger or smaller in a splittie.....I'm guessing the dual cabs glass is longer (higher) than the splittie window glass but the length (horizontal) must be close to the same.

the wolfgang popouts are pretty neat for the money, just got a set fitted on my wifes DC, chroming cost nearly as much as the whole kit

comparing your wife to a racoon - I assume she doesn't read this forum, or you are braver than me! seriously though where did you get the chroming done, I need some done also.

Also very nice DC, I have one in storage, a 68 bay with the lowlight tail lights- needs a fair bit more work work but one day!, my wife use to drive it to work (pre kids) and loved it although initally was not impressed when my dad and I got it home and told her it was a bargin (which it was, under $1000 with virtually no rust and no major pannel damage - 15 yrs ago though) and she said where's the engine? it was in a box (or boxes actually) in the tray!! ah good times!

haha, yeah Ive told her before, she gets a laugh out of it, she actually bought the car herself, I just have to fix it, she seems to be the culpit in buying all bar the last2 projects
over the last few years, she's worse than me... chrome was done in perth by vinci chrome, was $150 each which I thought was pretty dear considering the size, didnt have many options as K&D in perth also was closed due to a broken arm, freight to the east would proclude me from that option also,
cheers Russ...
