Ollie & Alice Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hello all, The misses and i have recently bought a stripped out 50ft springer project boat. We are in the process of stripping out the windows, replacing broken glass and re-sealing. As its of a fair age the previous owners have gunned a ridiculous amount of sealant etc to keep what glass is left in place. Some of the windows have plastic instead of glass. We have found that we are missing 2 sealing u channels at the bottom of the top hopper piece of glass on the larger windows (see images attached). I habe tried for months now to get an alumimium u channel to fit 4mm glass but have had no luck. Would anyone know if i could get these channels anywhere or know anywhere that would have something similar or even know anywhere that could fabricate them? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Brooks Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Not absolutely clear which bit it is but if its the part the hopper sits on - so the top frame for the fixed glass - in extremis how about a plain T section, a 4mm rod clamped against the angle and the application of a mallet to bend the leg of the T to form a channel?
