R Model side windows

[spiller]

The original question was for instructions on installing the plexiglass side window frames. I never saw anyone post instructions or a definite source for instructions. I'm interested because I bought a set of the frames from a SAAC member but they didn't have any instructions for installation. If anyone has a source for instructions that would be great.

I have deduced that the frames need additional brackets added on the lower front section and a mounting stud on the lower rear section in order to bolt on to the door without any further modifications. My frames came with brackets as they were lightly used (or at least prepared to be fitted at some stage). I have not yet attempted to fit them but will post a pic of what I have shortly to illustrate what I am referencing.

The original question:
I am looking for some info on the installation of the R model plexiglass side windows and frames. Do they simply bolt on to the door in the factory locations or are they welded in?

Common sense would tell anyone you can't weld an aluminum frame to steel. These types of parts generally didn't come with instruction sheets. Anyone fabricating a racecar could easily figure out a mounting method.

It may be slightly different then what you have but it should at least give you a idea of what you need to do. I hope this helps.
