Westy J Channel

[SUTTO]

Hi Kombi lovers,

Would a Westy owner with an original Baltic birch headliner get some measurements for me?

I would get them myself but it is very, very rare to come across a Westy in Australia.

I am going to replicate a Westy Birch headlining and need to get the A, B and C measurements of the J Channel as well as D and E which would be the measurement from the fold of the window sill to the bottom of the J channel.

I can't seem to find the info in any searches on this site.

Thanks, =)

Live In Newcastle, work in Sydney NSW. Ive got the birch cut to westy size but am just struggling to figure out the J Channel sizes to get a similar product from the aluminum wholesaler

The loop of the J tapers

[lolight70]

What measurements do u need for D and E ?
Yetty buy me the air fare and I'll gladly come shake ur hand

Sorry mate, the measurement from the top of the window to the bottom of where the 'J' channel is fixed, as I have got some paper templates from another member and knowing my luck I'll fix the 'J' channels in place and the ply headliner will fall out.

I just sourced these J channels on Ebay: http://www.ebay.de/itm/391373948205?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I hope to use them as an original channel substitute for my tintop.
