Default window frames

Hi Paul,

The frame on the passenger side is the original and the one in gray on drivers side is the one I made as a reverse of the original.

There seem to be a lot of different designs for verious things floating around out there.

Does anyone else have a picture of these frames on another vehicle

Default winter

The windows frames that have the lower front part covered, was for vehicles that had winterequipment. But have some problems understanding it would help much covering that little part...
I think Alex have a pamplet showing it the warious equipment.

Default Side curtains



This is a WW2 Australian pattern side curtain. I have a page on these here.

And this page has a series of drawings to reproduce these curtains.

Default Other winter gear

The other winter gear I have found are....Slits cut below the window frames for heat to defrost the windows by means of a blower(which I dont have) and the oil stick in the engine has the diluting mark for adding gas to the oil.
