Found Brass Extrusion
Euen Mcdonald has loaned me a piece of extruded brass that was made for windscreens years ago.I made a few inquiries and found a place in Clayton called George White, they specialize in brass of all shapes and sizes.Well you would not belive it the exact same extrusion as the sample,$99/3.6M.I cut a sample piece on 45 deg ans silver solder the two angles together.The only hard part is not to melt the brass as the silver is close the the same melt temp as the brass,but the join si as strong as an ox.I have included some photos feel free to have a say.The original frames are 5mm bigger across the flat than the brass but i'm not going to lose sleep over 5mm.

Well done John.
You should be able to get silver solder with a melting temp way lower than Brass. How are you going to fix the hinges? Does the extrusion have the hollow section for the joining piece? Rich

Have used the same brass in my 13 cab, obtained from Peter Jackson, he,s up the central coast NSW now . strenthen the corners with brass angle inside on the bottom soldered in, outside on the top screwed to the hinge. Either fit new glass ( $60 a side) or fit wider "t" rubber. took one to corowa this year for K W. to check out. its easy to work with.

Was just about to suggest the same person. His website has pictures of the profile on it . Have not used it ourselves, but had started looking into it.
