Hi Rod. Hows about grabbing a couple of thin strips of ali or plastic. Cut a curve in the material & pop rivet to sides of fly frame. If the width of window opening doesn`t allow for side mounting then perhaps allow for a fold on the material & pop from behind. cheers gordon

Hi Rod,
Its going back a couple of years now since I rebuilt my 58, but it had fibreglass window frames & screen frames.
From memory, I filled the groove in the fibreglass screen frame with bog & then stuck 3 ply cut to shape to that. I pushed it onto the wall & taped it to set in the right shape. When set I made a second piece of ply in the shape of the frame, sanded the edges, then stapled & glued the bits together with flyscreen in the middle. I used metal flyscreen. I then screwed the assembly to the wall.
My windows were hinged from the top , held out using a home made rod & pivot, similar to what I built for Lucille.
I know it wasn't that hard to do.
Have a look thru "Jailbarjuice Sunliner Restoration " & I'm pretty sure I put some pix of how I did it up there. If not maybe in Lucilles restoration.
JBJ
