Sliding Window "U" Channel

[Steve Pierce]

Anybody know where to get the sliding window "U" channel. Univair is very expensive. I ordered an antique car restoration catalog. I will see if they have it but if anyone has a source I would appreciate it.

Steve-

If you can send me a drawing or somthing similar I can have the shop that does all of our sheet metal give me a price. They are stamping and forming a lot of small parts that were missing from my project. They have the same punches and presses as airframes inc...nice stuff

Like cubdrvr said my local glass company has that in stock. I went by last Friday to get some and while there spied some very light but stiff stormdoor alum. molding to use instead of wood stringers for exp.

Channel

Where do I get, and what size is the channel that these felt lined sliders go into. I want to make a fold up left side window that will also have sliders in it. I will just fill the origional steel channels with wood so I have a flat surface then hinge a fold up frame at the top same as right side.
