JeffR Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 If you google it, it now appears to be part of CVH500080 or CVH500090 ! Brookwells (http://www.brookwell.co.uk/?s=MTC8478) seem to have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickeyw Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I have found military surplus dealers such as PA Blanchland to be good sources for new old stock early 90/110 parts. I found them by Googling old part numbers. May be of use to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickeyw Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Thread revival time Now I have an aged 110 CSW, and the other day one of my kids told me her window had fallen down when she tried to close it. Turns out the lift channel was completely fooked, and was hanging out of the bottom of the door, as the lower rail was also crumbled. Lengthy searches brought me to the same realisation, that these lift channels ain't nowhere to be found.Common internet 'advice' is to 'just chop down ones for the front doors'. Alas it's not quite so simple as that. I shall explain below. Comparing old crusty 2nd row channel (top) and a new front window version (bottom). Not quite the 'cut a bit off the end' solution that was being suggested. These two lovely shiny channels are spot welded together, so I drilled these out. And they're apart. Ever wonder why new plated parts go rusty sooner than you'd like? A quick zing with the angry grinder to shorten both parts, and we have this. I cleaned all the developing rust away and painted bare metal before assembly. A few dabs from the TIG, followed by some more paint, and I think this will do the job well. Now to deal with the rest of the rot 'n' grot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
