While another member on Classic Caravans suggested getting a part 3d Printed, this got me thinking, if I can obtain a window lock (any condition) I could possibly get a window lock made this way. So if any member has a window lock to suit a mid 70s Viscount, wind out, please contact me. Our van has 13 windows and every lock was removed, previously to us buying it??? brentcolleen@bigpond.com 0409484609 PS: The Caravans Plus style do not fit.  |

Hi
Your windows appear the same as on my Olympic.
I found Camec had most of the bits required, but they aren't cheap.
I also found Camec in Sydney were the best to deal with, & their postage/delivery was OK. Camec Qld I found to be cowboys in general, & would never deal with them again. I had heaps of problems with orders being sent to wrong adresses, Being duplicated, not delivered, & generally pretty amateurish for a big company. I ended up only talking to the department managers in the end, as everything went to crap. Hopefully they sorted themselves out, but be wary.
If you ordered one of each part initially, you would be able to see if they fit properly.
Beware that the colours you get may not be what you expect.
I have a few new bits surplus to my last window rebuild. Mainly little bits. BuT I dont have any winder boxes from memory. They were around $20 each, plus handles, etc.
Dont buy their window seals, as I found my local glazier used a commercial section that worked. I also gave up trying to fit the glass myself. He did it without breaking panels like I did. And a lot cheaper.
I will look tomorrow & see what I have, & email you. they are new, but as I dont need them, I will do a deal if you need them.

Hi JBJ,
Thank you for your response, I'm only looking for the locks, everything else I have.
Hopefully you have something to fit.
Cheers
Brent

Hi,
Do you mean the bits that slide along the bottom, with a hooked end, & hold it shut?. I Think I have a few of them.

Hi, Do you mean the bits that slide along the bottom, with a hooked end, & hold it shut?. I Think I have a few of them. JBJ Sounds like it, do you have an image? I have never seen one. But the main part of the lock would have been mounted on the inside frame. It appears that a knob would be turned to capture the windout frame when it was fully wound in? Best I can do, I have absolutly nothing to go by. None of the historic shots in "Viscount" show these locks. Cheers Brent |

No its later than swingbolts. Caravans Plus have a replica, but its a later model. Thank you for your input.  Dis regard the tab, thats my trial for an inside lock.  |
