Etch primed the window pan frame previously fabricated. When that was cured, I painted a coat of red oxide onto the window frame. Didn’t achieve much else today as still recovering from illness.

Today was spent fettling and trimming the prototype window frame. As an experiment I used a heat gun to bend the 8″ strip of Delrin cut yesterday to the window curve. This worked out well enough so at some point I will manufacture enough of these for the nearside of the bus.
Window frame in the metal

Yesterday and today were spent making adjustments to the window frame to ensure the fittings for the fixed light and droplight fit properly. Holes were drilled for the side pieces and all the screws ordered. New pads for the screws for these fittings were made out of Delrin, initial trial show these will work well. The last thing I did today was cut an 8″ x 7/8″ strip of Delrin to form the rounded corner.
