Default Window frame x1 - ready for painting

Didn't get color on the window frame, but got to primer stage.

I bought a pair of these NOS wiper motors about a year ago. This is the first trial fitting.
They will do just fine, and they work too. At least this one does.
The other is still sealed in it's wax covered box.

David D, those window slides repaired great. Thanks!!
Misc parts 1.jpg
Got a whole bunch of little parts painted with the radiator air ducting.

Just before coming inside, I cut and cleaned a short length of window frame channel, to take to rubber shop tomorrow, so I get the right size rubber seal. There is a fair chance they will have the right seal stock already in store.

I have found an issue with the window frame hinge mechanism. This being that the window does not want to swing to extent required for fully closed position. Something in the two pieces is stopping the free movement. It's not rust in the channel, and the two pieces slide along each other freely because I put a lot of time into the cleaning of the grooves, but window does not want to close fully. I can't see anything bent. Nothing looks out of place but will budge. I have a week to work it out, because it The window WILL be painted next weekend!
