Had heard that the handles were used on early Holden Quarter vent windows, and had assumed that they were an Aus. addition, but when I looked in MBC1 for their orientation they were shown. However I have just had another look (to double check before committing myself) and found they are no longer shown. Hmmm definatley loosing it, because I definatley saw a line drawing just recently, handles pointing to the sides of the individual screens. First time that I have noticed the long extension arms are not shown either. The Canadians miss out on all the good bits...

The top anti-squeak rubber appears to be no more than 3/16, but am willing to be corrected as it is original and in poor shape. Iwould imagine it would be the same as that used between the nose and the cab, but a little wider.
The "T" rubber (I have) is only about 1.5mm, but I don't have a lot of choice at the moment so it will have to do.
I would be fascinated to see how they made the profile, asked the local Sheetie how he would make it and said the same way I was doing it.(Make in 4 parts and weld together)
Cheers
Rich.
