Re: 48 window

Paul, the instructions really helped me understand the sequence.

I used the clutch head bit and the box nuts just spun on 2, and on 2 of the box nuts the heads were rusted and they stripped out. So I drove a torx bit into the opposite side and that was enough for 2 to loosen up, but two were rusted too bad and they broke. So where do you get box nuts to replace these?

The window slides came off with no problem, and I have one solid window for a pattern. The cracked one came out in one piece as well. So I can get replacements.

Other than they are a bit rusty. I was thinking about an electrolysis bath for them.

The trim rings that go around the windows are in pretty good shape. Some paint cracking, but not bad. I was thinking of media blasting them and then powder coat.
