Can any one tell me what type of wood would be correct to make some replacements. We are needing to replace the pieces under the belt line, the rubber strips that keep the window from rattling are stapled to them. Thank you in advance, Richard

If you wanted to match the original, I could most likely identify a decent recent cross cut section photo. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 96 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 96 | Thank you Paul, I had thought I had heard it was ash somewhre,so that is what I will attempt to build it out of.
