Awning sash halves spread when apart.
Hi All,
In my continuing effort to rehab the windows on our 1970 Ambassador I have found that the frame halves of the awning window next to the entry door do not form a rectangle without the steel “registration bar” is in place (the halves are just set next to each other in the frame that is riveted to the skin).
The obvious answer is to install a fairly long registration bar on both the top and bottom during reassembly to pull the shape back into the correct alignment, but I am wondering if the sash frame halves can be “encouraged” (bent slightly) back into more of a 90 degree angle, or if that comes with too many risks of its own?
Thanks,
David
