Help! I need some 49c wing window pivots

    It seems that my chrome plating shop lost or disapeared the wing window pivots for my 1949 Commodore. Does anyone know of a source for these little goodies? I could bend something up out of flat bar but it would be so rinky-dink.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas

    Well, there's a 49 Super Six out in the woods, but it's 6 deg F out there. If you still need it in the spring, email me HETcramerlp@roadrunner.com

    Thanks for the offer, but I didn't miss the pivots until now and I'm ready to start putting the new glass in.

    Do you need the steel 'pivot' or the pot metal receiver that rivets onto the actual chrome plated window frame. I've got both. and they're ready to go.

    What i need are the pot metal parts for the chrome frame, both sides. I'll send you a PM with my e-mail address. Thanks to this forum for helping.

    I got parts from Hudzilla pronto. It didn't hold up my project timeline. Now I need to figure out how to mount the little brackets. As it turns out, 5/32" rivets are not common in these parts, and I sure don't want to use pop rivets. Any other options out there?
