Re: PO has me PO'd
If there is such a good thing as a SNAP, I think it was the cam and spring on the post freeing up
But I was concerned that the hinge was going to twist off, so my focus was on the hinge Jesse, the whole process of rebuilding them isn't difficult, I just lost one of the parts. It was called FOCUS I picked this one for 15.00, on our boards, and now I have a sample to go by I'll revisit this at a later date, for now I have lots of other stuff to do Thanks for stopping by guys, encouraging to see someone actually reads this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8aa230f3_c.jpg16812873477955623621708462916207 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/198023675@N07 |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Hey Jim, I plan to rebuild my vent windows also, thanks for letting me know how you have done yours. I will check the bottom spring assembly.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Today I was looking at the vent window and noticed a haze on it,
Windex didn't touch it nor carb cleaner So I went extreme, OOOO x steel wool, took it right off https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b9dbc5c2_c.jpg16819092085901077308551743514136 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/198023675@N07 |

Finished up with the vent window, of course I dropped one of special screws LOST |

Drive head leaves a little to be desired, prefer hex drive and a little less counter sunk My trusty old ignition screw holder came thru again, probably one of the oldest in the box |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Seems to be pretty solid so far, one more screw to install

Re: PO has me PO'd
I may have found the key to installing vent window gasket
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f3c476a2_c.jpg16839836189121653743720210587843 by https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...bc17529e_c.jpg16839837067383676702868664076411 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/198023675@N07 Pushing down on the gasket at the top bracket seems to keep the gasket running in the channel, while pulling down on the gasket towards the bottom of the vent frame |

Re: PO has me PO'd
This area gets tricky as the bracket wants to pull the gasket out of the C channel
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ebe2d44e_c.jpg16839887199705642420944309778849 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/198023675@N07 Windex makes it slid better, but the trade off is that it also comes out of the channel easily |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Taking notes on your vent window build ... good info.

Re: PO has me PO'd
