Replacement round PORTHOLES for Shetland 4 + 2

Post by aggalletley »

My small round portholes on my Shetland 4 + 2 are perished and need replacing. Does anyone know where ~I can buy suitable replacements ? Has anyone recently replaced theirs who can offer any advice on the job in hand ?
Cheers

we replaced ours on our 570.

we carefully took out the ali housing. I think we drilled the rivets out. it came out in 2 pieces. the glass we took to a perspex company and asked them to cut us 2 replacements from the pattern. getting the whole thing back was a bit of job but looked good on completion
