S1/S2 Front Window Channel

PostPost by: zog » Thu Nov 16, 2023 12:47 pm

I'm still looking for a left hand side Front Window Channel. This one has damage and I don't know if it can be fixed. Anyone take one off their race car and put it up on their shelf?

Thanks!

Bob, I can't help but I think you can expand your search to either side. The bracket that bolts to the door is only riveted on so that is the only part that is handed.

FYI. I found out that Kelvedon has new ones. Expensive but perfect!

I’ve used alloy replacement parts from TTR in past and they work fine.

One of the front channels on my car was bent/cracked, so I had the chrome stripped, the channel straightened and welded, then ground and sanded the weld area, and had it rechromed.
