Title: Split window templates please
Post by: VWannaB on November 06, 2015, 05:02:48 AM
Is there anyone who would do me a huge favour? I am making a Beetle split rear window and require a template of the shape and size of the openings, as well as the profile from the pinch weld up to the roof line. I have an oval clip as a basis for this. I know the outer shape of the oval is different than the split and it's not just the addition of the center post. I have comprehensive experience with metal shaping and I think I can modify the oval's outer shape to be the same as the split. After that I can create the center post section. What would be ideal for me is to get to a split window Beetle and physically measure things. I promise to be careful and there's a case of beer involved in my offer! I live in Vancouver, so a car on the mainland would be even better. Thanks. Randy Schultz 604 721 0872
