The first reproduction frame has been made, being slightly smaller on the outside, one layer of lamination, it fitted nicely into the metal surround to locate it and the window, it is apparent however as stated in a previous posting on this site that the original frames also needed trimming on the inside to accommodate the aluminium trim and possibly to some extent variations in the shape of the window opening in the roof panel, one trim finisher would fit without too much additional work but the other would have needed a substantial amount of trimming to fit. We have decided to make the second one with a bigger opening for the internal trim as this should require less work when fitting and none at all with the finisher that almost went in on this one.
When Dave and I are happy with the results he will be able to offer both options.
Geoff.
