The width of the Spaunur channel is a problem Hanno. While you can piece it all together, the windows will be so tight as to be near impossible to open. I have done a few, and until you wear all the fluff off the channels (at which time it is not much better than the channels which were replaced) you need a pinch bar to open them.

The stuff Jordan shows looks a lot better. There must be a North American distributor.

I think there is a company in Brisbane, Aust. that may have this also. I have not dealt with them in over 20 years, but have been told they are still going. Now I need toremember the name, or a search on interweb may get me there. I'll look tonight.

From memory, I think its called double bailey channel. (?spelling)

Yes, that is the item I recall SPAE NAUR selling, however back in the late 1970's, they listed two options. Both were half an inch high, but the narrower item was three quarter inch overall width.

Somebody must be making this product somewhere in North America at the very least. To my knowledge SPAE NAUR is not a manufacturer. Just a wholesaler. I wonder if there were any commercial vehicles of the 1930's that had sliding windows that would have used this product? Panel vans, deliveries, buses or even the post war Mini Cooper?
