I have been looking at the "Jalousie Windows for a Vanagon Article" at: http://www.everybus.com/dworkin/vgon_jalousie/ and would like to undertake the project. Has anyone ever tried this? I have a few questions... 1) I am assuming that the 1 5/8 radiuses be cut in all four corners of both sides (inside and outside of the window) is this right? 2) Is there a reason why the 1 5/8 radiuses cannot be cut prior to assembly? 3) Could't the inside window stock be done from a 42 3/8" x 16 11/16" with a hole cut, and similarly the outside window stock be done from a 42 3/8" x 16 3/4" with a hole cut (using the strip widths as a guide for the hole size). Having them one piece would increase materials cost, but wouldn't it be stronger? 4) Why is there a 1/16" inch difference between the height of the inside and outside window stock? Is it flush on the top or bottom and the 1/16" stick out on another side or is there an extra 1/32" on top and bottom? Thanks, Chris |
