Ok, here we go.
Starting with the front window curtain, this one is curved at the top of the windscreen in the middle it measures 560mm at both outher ends it's 490mm and it's 1290mm long
The seam at the bottom and sides is 15mm (3 layers) at the top where the snappers are the seam is 45mm (3 layers)

Cab doors.
600mm high and 1000mm wide, all sides have a seam 15mm (3 layers) at the top there is a silent gliss tape.

Sliding door.
520mm high and 1370mm wide all sides have a seam of 15mm (3 layers) and at the top there is a silent gliss tape

Back and jalousie window
4 pieces of 520mm high and 670mm wide bottom and both side have a seam of 15mm (3 layers) at the top there is a sleeve of 50mm

Have you got any close up pictures to show how it compares with the images that Dirty Harry posted.

Looks good from the pictures you have added. 8)

The material/Fabric is no were the same, How ever the colour and size of the check is very good in compartment to the OG.
As for the quality of the fabric,it is perfect for curtain material.
think it will look great once the missus has worked her magic....need to butter her up a bit!!

Looks like I need curtain track runners for the front windows, there are rivets there that have beet drilled out and in place are poppers which work fine but not original.
anyone??!! :roll:

Thanks to Alistair for this pic.

Hi!

So, AFAIK, earlybays pre 71 had one piece front screen, with door curtains, and the later (but still westy check, not the solid mustard material, pre 73?) had a one piece screen and door cover, as seen by the pic in the bottom of the diagram.

Here is a pic of my curtain slider in my '70 on both doors

I can get some better pics if you want.

I have a OG check front screen which covers the cab doors also, sat in the garage, may use it to cut to size to use on my cab door window runners.

Cheers,

Alistair

Behind the rear locker on the Westy.

The pleats are running away with the van, how are the pleats achieved ??
is it on a runner where are the fixings? I have seen the diagram but still not sure how to achieve that finish...

Dirtyharry, Clem, Creationblue etc. help please!

Hi,

These any good?

You can see the profile of the silentgliss runners, and the popper placement above the windscreen

Cheers!
