1950 Vent Window rebuild
#16
Oh, OK, they list them and show them in their "kit" but maybe that's the part that would get fastened to my existing division bars via rivets? Is that what you are thinking? Price wise it makes sense since their kit is about $70-$80 less than everyone else. Carol was very nice on the phone but it sounded like she was very busy and had limited people to ask. I will review this further. It's not really the price that i'm worried about, i just want to get the right stuff and that is why i would rather get a proven "kit" so that i don't cobble stuff together and find out after i try and insert the glass that it's all wrong. I'm just about ready to buy the SS kit from Carpenter and scuff the chrome off and paint it !!
Bill, I just called Restoration specialties to see where my order was. He said it will be another week. They have an employee in the hospital and they are backed up.
Anyhow I asked him about their division bars, painted or stainless.? He said they don't sell them and they call them window separaters. So maybe they meant their glass runs have a stainless bead on them, which I think they did originally. It makes sense that they don't carry division bars as they don't specialize in Ford or any other brand parts, just Restoration things that are common to all makes.

To be clear, there are not any division bars that are part of the kit from Steele. The anti-rattle strips have a stainless bead reveal and are delivered preformed. There are also formed channels that fit well into the keeper frames. The seals for the division bar fit nicely and seat with some rubber adhesive.
