windows in manual

[Sprite]

Are the windows in the manual bigger than the ones by the
Dutch company and what would you have do to install them on
the earlier 1962 and is it twelve weeks to get them still.

P.S could not figure it from the manual needed a little bit more
clarification

The large curve in the newer frame (Rostand) is slightly different than that of the Dutch frame. You will need to cut / grind away some of the cabin and liner to make them fit.

Note: the window frames are currently unavailable. Rostand RI has donated the patterns for Pearson hardware to a school in Rhode Island. We are in contact and will let everyone know when the school will be providing access. It is our understanding that the school has a couple of foundries with whom it deals on a regular basis and it's possible the school will be selling the hardware directly. Stay tuned.

keep me informed on this one. On the Dutch windows
are all 4 cabin windows the same just turned in a different direction.

Not exactly. There is an inside and an outside to each frame. That means that there are two different sets of frames, each of which can be used in two places. For example, the port forward frame set could also be the starboard aft frame set.

Bill,

Does that mean the Port aft frames could be used as the
starboard forward frames. I want to apologize that I didn't
clarify that I meant the set and not an internal or external
frame.

John,

Yes, this is easily confused when talking about it .:) The frame sets go as you describe.
