    Wanted: N/S opening 1/4 light

    Has anyone got a near side, opening 1/4 light. A frame only will do but I'm happy to take a complete one. I have glass, seals and and handle but the frame has been broken into at some point it seems. For a 68 but I'm not sure there's any difference in years. Cheers. Ash

    According to all the drawings, the bush with the metal ring and two dimples, is the most rearward of the two and the bush without the metal ring and the single dimple if the one at the front. So why is it my shift rod has two holes at the front and one at the rear?? :lol: :?: :roll: ;)
