WANTED - Window Frame assembly for a Spitfire Mk3

[smw]

I am looking for a Window Frame assembly for a Spitfire Mk3, Does anyone have one that they are willing to part with please.  Would be really appreciated.

Hi SMW,

Do you mean the windscreen frame? I have a spare but it is very corroded.

Cheers Brett

HI, Yes I do mean the frame. It should have 2 posts at either end that fit into the body of the car. 

Could you possibly send me some photos?

You will be lucky to find anything that isn’t rotten, don’t forget they are shared with TR4 to 6, so will have TR tax on them as well.

At least that will give you a larger pool of rusty ones to contemplate

I have a beautiful non rusty one here but too far away, complete with brackets I brought it off local Gumtree eons ago had to buy it as the price was so low $20, just in case something happened to the daughters Mk2. 

There again I've just brought a NOS Herald/Vitesse rear drivers side boot outrigger with the curved mounting bit, mine was a little weak after years of getting wet heated up by silencer and drying. Cost of replacement item 27 quid, postage 40quid & tax 9 quid, so delivery nearly twice the cost of the item, that's what us colonists have to put up with, but I want to keep car to near standard condition?

Photographs as requested

Cheers Brett

Aha so YOU bought that one? I was watching but not tempted enough to bid.

Not sure whether you received my response as I can't see it.  We were wondering whether you would be prepared to sell it and ship it over?  We are in no rush for it at present.
