  • Mecaplex vent window?

    From John B@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 15 21:53:59 2023
    Folks-
    We are putting a Jantar 2B back into service and we are missing the vent window and the upper and lower rail. The hole in the canopy is 188x125.
    'Anybody got a source for a replacement?
    Thank you!

    Just remember that not all Mecaplex windows are the same. Due to differences in the curvature of the canopy "bubble," each window will not necessarily fit perfectly on any particular canopy. I have had to search through "spares" at Fidel Ramirez's shop
    at Moriarty to find a reasonable fit.

    I have a half dozen windows in my junk drawer, but the only one that measures 188 X 125 doesn’t look like all the Megaplex ones…………..it has very rounded corners and a good curve top to bottom. Email me for photo. No charge for good guys,

    Just wanted to post a message of gratitude to JJ Sinclair for sending me a Megaplex window that is the prefect fit and tint for my ASW-27. I tried several times to get his address to send him a gift, but his response was - certainly not - pay it forward
    to someone else. What a gentleman. THANKS JJ.
