The Duke 27 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thought as much, mine came from there too. Can't recommend them enough! Tony is a top guy! I couldn't agree with more. Just out of interest how have you fitted yours? Did you bolt them in? Link to post Share on other sites
Ickyketseddie 89 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Yeah but I don't have any window mechs or inner door skins any more. Just pushed them into place in the rubbers and then put two bolts through them at the bottom. And then all round the rear screen obviously. Will load a couple of pics when I'm on the laptop in a bit.

c00k 435 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 If we got measurement for the windows I could get these made relatively cheaply I reckon. I have a mate who has a flat bed cnc router, and could cut poly carb easily. Link to post Share on other sites

The Duke 27 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Unfortunately, I've had to sell the vr as I'm moving back home and would never have finished it the time I've got left. Gutted I didn't finish it think it would've been a lot of fun. Link to post Share on other sites
