Wanted NSW Sunliner Front Window

[patrick]

Hi All,

As per the title I'm after a complete front window with frame. Seals etc to suit my 64 Sunliner.

Current one was replaced with an air con unit before I bought her.

I'm on the South side of Sydney but happy to collect within reason or courier.

Thanks,
Patrick.

Nobody? Anyone know a wrecker that might have this stuff in NSW?

Cheers,
Patrick.

Hi

Sunliners didnt have window frames at front or rear.
They had perspex fixed panels, moulded to shape, & held in with rubbers.
if you have one with a window frame, its either modified by someone, or possibly a Gracemure queensland built.
It would be easier for us to tell if you posted some pictures. Not many of us are mind readers, & dont really know what you are looking for unless you show us.

But there are heaps of photos of sunliners on here. If you cant post a photo, why not look thru old photos on here, & tell us which one its the same as

Then you may find someone can help you

Hi JBJ and Patrick,

If Patrick's Sunliner has a type 3 body (1963+) - as it appears to have from his photo here - it will have opening aluminium framed front windows. Not sure what the window hinges off though - presumably it is attached to a metal frame?

Patrick - it may take you a while to find a window. Someone may have one lying around if they have pulled a Sunliner apart. Trouble is Sunliners seem to last, being made of fibreglass, and being a popular type of vintage caravan tend to be rebuilt rather than wrecked! You may need to take some measurements and see if you can find an alternative that you can adapt.

Hi JBJ / Don,

Sorry for the late reply. I don't get on here too often.

Thanks for the info. My vans a 64 so has the opening front windows like this.



You can also see the offensive AC unit pretty clearly. The frames are qualicraft - see close ups below.





Measurements are approximately 77.5cm wide by 46 high so slightly different to the side ones.

Is there a record somewhere of Qualicraft sizes by van as I'm hoping there fitted to something else? If not do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Patrick.

G'day Patrick,

Good to hear from you again.

You'd have to think (or at least like to think) that Sunliner used one of Qualcraft's standard sized windows. Hopefully, someone on the forum will be able to help you out.

If you don't hear from anyone for a while, give your post a bump every now and then by clicking on the Quote button.

Hi All,

Just bumping this one up.

I'd even consider cutting and welding a larger window frame if anyone has one from another van from the same era.

Thanks,
Patrick

You could try this outfit, they are building new Sunliners from an original mold , they must be sourcing frames & windows.

they look a lot like a early viscount

[kelshouse]

Thanks Mustang, they (suncoast sunnies) use current camec windows which apparently are a similar size but look quite different with windsers and fly screen internal frame
