Hi All
I'm involved in the recovering of a Mk 4. Does anyone have the
dimensions of the glazed triangular windows in the sides just behind the
doors.
Any help would be appreciated.

Why not leave the windows out. Mine cracked so I made some aluminum panels t
o cover up the holes. I could never turn my head enough to see out anyway.

David,
Pete's experience is typical. The early models came with a piece of
Lexan sewed in to a triangular piece of fabric. Eventually they became
scratched and discolored and a real eyesore. My solution was a bit
different than Pete's since I was covering a new project. I took a
piece of Lexan the size of the space between the triangular tubing. I
then cut out what I wanted to be as the window from the center giving
basically a triangular outline. I then fabricated some channels that I
could rivet to the bottom two legs of the triangular shape that would
accept a triangular piece of window lexan. After inserting the window
piece, four sheet metal screws secured the top edge. This made the
window removable and replaceable. For size, I made the edges parallel
to the tubes and it was arbitrary as to any factory numbers. Pics
attached.

My approach was similar to Lowells.=C2- Cut out a triangle approximately
the same size as the triangle formed by the tube structure then cut a trian
gular hole 1 1/2 inch in from the edges of the flat piece.=C2- I then for
med=C2-two 1" x 2' joggles for each side.=C2- These pieces form the fra
me and retaining clips for a slightly smaller piece of lexan than will fit
flush with the frame and almost inside the tube structure.
these windows are better for light in the cabin than sight seeing.
