they look like the Bees Knees very good.
On my 3000S i already have stainless side screens. At the top front of the channel in the corner there are 2 pop rivets which i had to drill out so i could lift the channel to replace the felt runners .
Do your's have 2 pop rivets like this to enable fitting of felt runners and glass

Rudy,
imho i think the pop rivets on mine look very neat and there is the bonus that they cannot come loose with the bad vibrationslaughlaughthey are high quality from when i worked in the Aerospace industry.
What have you planned for the seals to go along the bottom edges to protect the paintwork.
I have seals and they work very well and i can take a few photos of them if you like.

Very very nice.
I like people who can make good things with their hands (after they have been thinking first of course).

I know a car without the window frames.

Should go and look (and buy) it.

Keep the good work going Rudy.

Yes but with the window frames from Rudy (non original but beautiful) it will look more as a 3000S.
At least to me. laugh

It would be nice to find a source for the Early Mini Window Catches in METAL instead of PLASTIC for a reasonable price. The plastic ones are sooo fragile.
If the Window Frames are remade i think they need built in deflecters to stop rain coming inside. Between the end of Frame and the Sidescreens.
