Dear Vincent You could either check with spareparts@nautors-swan.com if frames are still available, or repair the existing ones, and take them to a car painting shop to restore the outside finish, or make copies in aluminum. Detailed drawings do not exist, the frames were manufactured in moulds. When installing new windows take care to leave at least 1/4 inch gap around the edges for sealant. If the gap is too small the sealant can not accomodate the expansion/shrinkage caused by the sun Kind regards Lars |

Lars, Many thanks for your great feed back. Will do as per your suggestion and will let the SS swan ass. members know about the aluminum concept when finished. Will post as well some photographs. The condition of the old frames was so bad that it was practically impossible to salvage them properly. The yard which did change or fixed the sealant in the past did a really poor quality job leaving no option than breaking unfortunately the frames. Thank you. Vincent Hawksbill/ 106 |
