alsfarms Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Being new to the British car side of the hobby, I need to know of a good source for reproduction, rectangular, chrome, convertable rear window frames. Would like to get the top installed on the Alvis DHC sometime this coming summer. References are much appreciated.Thanks, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Unless there is something specific or design-wise different about the British piece that would be difficult to duplicate here, I'd refer this question to the CCCA Tech Forum. They've had the most experience in duplicating these kinds of pieces on high-end cars. Including a photo would be a good idea.(If this is a pre-1948 Alvis it's likely that it is CCCA recognized (see list). If it isn't it would be proper etiquette to acknowledge that in your request--some of them can get kind of touchy on the subject.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoLLS Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I have a 1938 MGTA TICKFORD rear window frame.Ifyou have a picture with dims.I could make one up for you. solid brass, chrome plated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Thanks for your response. My project does not have any of the rear widow frame to serve as a pattern. What is the dimension of your MG DHC rear window? Also, if you have a good rear view picture of your car it would help me determine if the size would work for my Alvis TA DHC. I await your response.Regards from the West,Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoLLS Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Al n- I believe that the MG Tickford frame will be too small (3 1/2 x 20). TheAlvis is a full size convertible. Enfield Auto Restorations of Enfield CT1 860 749-7917 or www.enfieldautorestoration.com restored a 1937 Alvis speed 25a couple of years ago. They should be able to help you out with dimensions andpicture of the window. I have a tool and die shop and have produced parts for my pre-war cars. If a window is not available, they would be no problem reproducing one if the dimensions and pictures are available. Once you have thedimensions check other british cars (jaguar drophead MK IV & V) sometimes they are interchangeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
