Joćo,
I measured up the channel in my truck, and while it is approx. 1/2" high, the width less than an inch (approx. 7/8"), rather than the 1-7/64" (or 1.11") as per the picture in the catalog. Now, the channel in my cab window is too narrow as the steel sliding plates can only be moved with much force (can't say they are "sliding", really). But I do not know if the width of the SPAENAUR twin channel will fit the frame. Who has tackled this job before and can help?!? Hanno IMG_2600.JPG IMG_2597.JPG

The above link has double channel that I think would work.

Hi
I have 4 sets of sliding windows none of them are made the same way. Some have folded edge lint the ones shown on my web page. The others have added steel strip at top and bottom. If you can get the wider (1/4 type) to fit in the channel then the panels will actually slide one handed. Channels I have are a tight fit and it takes both hands to slide the plates, so what ever position they are in at the start of the drive is how they stay until I stop, turn in my seat and can use both hands. Which when you are driving in a convoy and starts raining means the back of your neck can get really wet. Cheers Phil

I checked my panels while looking up the channel specs. My panels are 1/8" thick but then have 1/8" strips added to one side along the top and bottom edges. However as Phil says there is variations
The other thought I had was if you used the Speanur stuff is to make a 4mm spacer for the window frame.

The width of the Spaunur channel is a problem Hanno. While you can piece it all together, the windows will be so tight as to be near impossible to open. I have done a few, and until you wear all the fluff off the channels (at which time it is not much better than the channels which were replaced) you need a pinch bar to open them.
The stuff Jordan shows looks a lot better. There must be a North American distributor. Last edited by rob love; 21-06-15 at 23:05. |

I think there is a company in Brisbane, Aust. that may have this also. I have not dealt with them in over 20 years, but have been told they are still going. Now I need toremember the name, or a search on interweb may get me there. I'll look tonight.
From memory, I think its called double bailey channel. (?spelling)

Yes, that is the item I recall SPAE NAUR selling, however back in the late 1970's, they listed two options. Both were half an inch high, but the narrower item was three quarter inch overall width.
Somebody must be making this product somewhere in North America at the very least. To my knowledge SPAE NAUR is not a manufacturer. Just a wholesaler. I wonder if there were any commercial vehicles of the 1930's that had sliding windows that would have used this product? Panel vans, deliveries, buses or even the post war Mini Cooper? David |
