[br]Dear friends, as my N17 restoratrion project continues, I am genuinely getting worried about sourcing windows for the front (complex curved wrap-around shape). I havew tried allsorts, I have made drape moulds and tried to form my own with heat, I have tried to source from fabricators etc. Everything I try seems to hit a dead end.

Can anyone here help me in any way?
Does anyone have old windows from the N17 or the Callumncraft?
Perhaps you recently restored your own N17, where / how did you do the windows?

This is proving to be a real problem. The following links show my failed endeavours so far (just skip to the images if you don't fancy reading reams of boring text)

It needs someone to make an accurate mould to form the plastic over then as many as you want can be made. My son in law works for a company that makes vacuum formers so he told me it is simple if the former can be made. So perhaps show my post to him and see if he can help me ??? ----------------------------------------------------- My Norman 17 restoration thread (pics and vids) http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056217528
