Eaton's 818C Build - Power Window Modifications

[Mark Eaton]

I've decided to take my best shot at power window modifications and replicate what FFRWRX did. Here's my initial mock up.





I'm making these out of 1-2/2" x 3/4" metal stick, I think its .08" thickness.

I have a ways to go...

Maybe look into a "tube roller". I used one to make this bike and it seems like it would work for your window frame project.

The issue with trying to roll/bend channel is that if you bend it one way the side walls want to go out (excess material). So you hammer that back in and it bends another way. I thought of making some sort of rolling bender specifically for channel. It would have to be capable of rolling in various directions for the window frame. I thought it would be a huge effort for something that may or may not have worked.

Since I gave up on my 3D printed targa top and bought the FFR top, I have the same plan for windows. Thankfully I get to watch you do it first
