A right dt again would need to be used again but upside down with straight side against the front side of the window. Because if a left dt was used the top portion does not reach across because of the curve.
ps the front side of the window is a lil narrower the the back side so it would need to be notched.

The bad part is the the rings are so thin that it's going to be hard not to melt them while welding them up.. cross your fingers for me.. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 121 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 121 | theres a guy out here that was gonna tig weld patches on his trim using front door pieces. ill check if he ever did and try to get pics | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 121 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 121 | nope sorry,, i went by earlier and still nothing had been done.. ill keep checking up on the progress | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 34 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2007 Posts: 34 | Thanks for checking... i'm going to cut and weld the front one as a test piece so i'll know if i'm using the right amount of heat... they are just so thin...... | | |
