Your restoration diary has been inspiring and a useful guide for the work on my '28 Top Hat. I've only had it since 1962 and I am into the glazing stage of the 3rd rebuild. I can't say restoration, because that might imply 'showroom' condition. In 1963 I used BMC Mini aluminum window guides.They were the correct length and felted. They were however, 1 mm too wide and overlapped the wood frame. I did search for a source of BMC Mini window channels, but the only ones I could find where rubber/plastic/felted. I have now used extruded half inch aluminum channel. It compares very well with the only original window channel piece I have from 50 odd year ago.
Question: So were the window channels you used the original and/or from another source?
