You could get a glazier to cut you a circular piece of glass the size of the opening.Then cut two timber rings - the inner diameter smaller than the glass diameter.Slip glass into opening.Bead of silastic around it.Paint & drill fixing holes in timber then fit corresponding timber rings - interior/exterior - rings could be made from metal or aluminium also.

Hi Sneezles, I have made a pair for a retro van. It was not easy.First some questions. Where are you? What is your background ?
Tradie maybe? What tools have you got and what sort of machinery? Case.

For $800 you can buy a 1950's Rowvan with porthole windows. Seems to be the only redeemable feature for the condition. On Ebuy and located at Birdwood SA, just out of Adelaide.

Ha ha Willies, what about the sink, the ice chest & the cupboard handles? Offer them $400 & it might work out? |
