Pictures of 1965-1968 Window Frames

[YTNUKLR]

Hi, I am wondering if anyone has pics of 1965-68 windows frames, specifically of the front 1/4 windows that pivot. I am trying to find out if the chrome 356 window pivot locks would work.

I have some (what I believe to be ) 1968 window frames and they have a rubberized latch on the interior side. Would like to change it to all chrome. Trying to figure out if 1965-67 911s also had rubber or chrome, or if i should try to adapt 356 parts to get all chrome Thank you for any pics or insight ! Scott

Hi Scott, the easier option is just remove the rubber section and re-chrome. We have restored/re-chromed lots of pre 68 window trim so if it helps I can send pics. For now here are some from a US 68 car. These were stripped and re-chromed last week.

Scott - 1968 Coupe door window frames were a one-year only version - anodised aluminium but with an opening chrome quarterlight.

The locking 'handle' & pivot were chrome - here are a couple of pictures:

Andy, here in the USA we had a rubber-covered quarterlight handle for 1968 ONLY. This was at the request of our benevolent government who were rightfully concerned that we would impale ourselves on the handle in a crash. Sort of like Phineas Gage.

Here is a not so great photo of a current 68 912 advertised for sale, you can see the black rubber piece.

This place rocks my socks. Thanks for the pics and info!!

Andy, yep, I do indeed have the 1968 Anodized door window frames with the brass chrome quarterlights. And these are apparently USA because they have a rubber handle.

I want the chrome handle so , Alan, you're pretty sure I can just take off the rubber bit and send off the quarterlight pieces to be chromed ? And of course the anodized frames to be re-anodized..

This is great. Now off to take apart my window frames.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Can anyone make any recommendations for Platers here in the US? East coast preferably. Looks great Alan.

Here's what my '68 frames looked like when I got them back from King of Trim in N. Hollywood.

I put the glass in the vent window and assembled the latch and installed the rubber. Marcos and his crew handled the stripping, polishing and re-plating in all the appropriate finishes. Most importantly, they handled all the riveting and did a very nice job of it. I have used them repeatedly for all my brightwork and have always been very happy with the results.

Not cheap, but I think their work speaks for itself.
