window rail dimensions

Nice pic but the wrong pic

You might want to PM Lane Anderson - I think he made a pair out of wood, too.

I have no idea what the dimensions were for that.  literally cut a piece of wood until it sits flush with the door closed.

 

then drill in the hardware.  i wanted hidden hardware - which i assume you have seen if you are posting that pic.

 

measure and drill for side window holes - you will have to account for the thickness of the vinyl on the insert receptacles)

 

then wrap in vinyl (stretch / staple)

 

slice an X in for each of the side window insert receptacles

 

then attach to door from the inside

 

then install door panel.

 

then drink beer and repeat...

 

 

 

 

then do the other door.

I'll post some pictures of mine when I get home, but measurements differ between manufacturers, so mine might not fit yours.

Ok, here are some pics.  These have machine screws glued in under the faux rivets.  I then used nuts and loctite on the backside.  The exact dimensions will be different from any car that's not a Beck, so you might need to do some measurements beforehand.

 

Lane/ Mango, did you have to cut a notch in the backside of the wood to lap over the fiberglass at the top or is the entire back straight?

On mine it's straight.  I do think that a little overlap would look nice, though.

Lane;

On your first pic, what is the chrome "hinge" between, your door hinges?

Thanks, Art

Looks like a door open limiter.

That's right.

LANE;

i have tried on numerous occasions to re-set my doors, to alleviate the door/body rubbing issue with CMC's. I have hung many residential doors, some successfully, but in my car NOT SO MUCH. I think you have a Beck's and I not sure how the doors and jambs line up between our two cars.  But you your door stop looks like a winner from here.  Where did you get these piece wise, and any information you can pass on.

That's how Beck builds 'em.  You could contact Carey Hines at Special Edition and see if he could sell you a couple.  I would think that a simple leather strap like most old British cars have would work as well.
