Oddball window glass ID
Posted: Sat Apr 28, 2018 7:00 am
I bought the wagon 15 years or so ago off a bloke who had had a bad prang. His nice maroon wagon was a right-off, so he bought a pale blue wagon to transfer all the bits on to. The job was too big for him, so he sold both the blue wagon and the recoverable maroon bits to me.
I had never seen an EK in bits before, so dutifully went through and tried to identify what I had. Labelled most stuff up, and where there were multiple bits I identified the better ones to go onto my V8 wagon project. Over time, the "better bits" got cleaned up, ready to reinstall. this included the window glasses... the ones on the blue wagon were pretty badly scratched, but there were some spare ones that looked good.
I must have been having a bad day when I sorted the window glass... the two front-door glasses that I assumed were off the maroon wagon and put aside are definitely not FB/EK. Had to get into the spare parts department again yesterday and recover some other ones from amongst the spooders.
The one on the right is the correct FB/EK wagon/sedan glass. The one on the left is a mystery- too tall, too wide, and an odd corner cut. The only other doors I've had in pieces are some EH doors that I held for Dad, though from memory EH doors are not as tall as FB/EK.
Any ideas what the oddball glass is?
Cheers,
Harv
