Post subject:  1/4 vent windows

Hello All
I am in Canada and of course Canadian mini's do not have vent windows. I would like to have vent windows in my mini. Does anyone have an old set they would like to part with for not too much money? All I want is the window and guide do not even need the glass as I can have that cut here. Thanks so much.

they are a totally different door to the normal Pommy/canadian/japanese mini doors, you`ll find a pile of drama trying to "make" them fit

Oh.
So the angle of the front of the door is different?
So would the door it self fit the opening?

Doors are completely different shapes.
Our doors are all Mk1 style, yours will be the bigger Mk3 style.

Assuming your's is the internal hinged type door and not an early sliding window door than the door themselves are completely different . We didn't get internal hinges down here , only the sliding Mk1 doors , followed by our own version of the Mk1 with wind up windows and 1/4 vents . If your car has sliding windows or some version I haven't seen with windup windows while still having external hinges and no 1/4 windows then it may fit , but if you have internal hinges then you can't fit the 1/4 vent doors .

But if he has Mk1 doors, then he can't just use the 1/4 window, he needs the whole aussie door!

Oh and yes it is an mk3 (1976 1000)

Would be easier , if you can find a Mk1 up there anywhere you could probably get someone to send you the appropriate doors but still an expensive option I'd say .

Or we could send you a photo of a 1/4 vent, and you could get it painted/printed onto your glass! :lol:

But if you were to trace the outline of your vent window I would be able to see just how far out and how much drama would be involved.

You won't get it from me though, I have sliders. :D
