Anyone have available a pair of aluminum D window frames for a 46 BC12D ?

I have some drawings to make them if you have a bead roller.

I appreciate your offer Hank but I would need to take a course in how to do that, much simpler if I can just find a couple some where. Thanks anyway

My neighbor has an NOS set but they may be for prewar. I have an NOS set and I know they are prewar.

Pre war were wood, not sheet metal. What is the material of yours?

I have drawings of the wood ones too......somewhere.

Deluxe was wood. I have have a set of D window structure for prewar doors. They may actually be for a '45 which used prewar doors.

My 41 Deluxe had wood doors and D window frames. You DO NOT want to have to rebuild a wood door! The guys who built them must have been fine furniture makers. They are things of pure beauty. My 45 Deluxe has the tube doors which seem lighter and MUCH easier to repair (or even build from stock/scratch). They aren't nearly as quiet and don't have the solid feel when you close them like the wood ones. Better in my opinion than the later sheet metal doors, but not as nice as the wood ones. The wood doors feel like a 1950s Buick door when you close them. Not heavy feeling at all, just really SOLID feeling and seal great. My 45 does have the stamped aluminum D window frames where the 41 was wood.

Are you talking about the frame that keeps the windows in place? If so, I have a pair that came off my 46 BC-12D. They are yours if you want to pay for shipping. I made new ones out of wood with a groove for the windows so I can open either one. Send me a pm if you want them.

Can you post photos of your opening D windows? Sounds like a neat mod!
