Side window replacement

[davespann]

I replaced the small oval right hand side window. I had a glass shop cut and temper a glass. I reused the old glass retainer seal but coated it with Dow Corning 4. It a silicone lubricant for aircraft cannon plugs. I used 3/64 stainless steel MIG stick welding wire for new pins. No corrosion problem with those. I superglued one side in so they wouldn't move when I hammered the halves back together with a dead blow hammer (2 lb. no less). I used olympic seal type rivets pulled with a Harbor Freight rivet puller. I buffed off the stems with a HF 90 degree die sander. I used the same tool with a bright boy wheel to polish the heads. You can't even see they are stem pulled rivets. I used the Vulcum sealer on mating surfaces. Where the rivets only caught half a hole on the inner skin I used an AN3-10L aluminum washer on the rivet stem then pulled it and the spread will catch the washer and give a larger claming area against the inside of the sheetmetal. Total price........$82.00. It has rained for 5 days and no leaks.

Any questions?.....................Dave Spann
