Sky lights

Post by 8211 »

Does anyone know where I might get a set of clips that hold the skylight in? I need a set since the frame did not come with them. Thanks. Woody

I'm not sure what you're looking for. The two skylights are riveted in place.

They are the center of a sandwich, In between the roof skin, then there is a doubler ring that circles the sky light, which is riveted to the roof.

Are you perhaps thinking of something to hold the fabric?

Thanks for a response! I am needing the parts to hold the skylights in place that are rivited
In to hold the glass. I bought the metal with holes already cut and nothing came with it.

The metal oval shaped frame holds the sky light in place. There is a rubber u-channel to seal the edge. There are clips around the outside to hold the headliner to the frame. Lorraine Morris can probably direct you to a source.

PM me and I can get you Lorraine's info.

I'm assuming that you have the roof skin with two ovals cut in for the sky lights?
What you are needing is
1. the transparencies.
2. the channels the transparencies drop into that are then riveted to the roof (with the transparencies and seals sandwiched inbetween)
??
Correct?
The channels are part number 0411174
I see that KRN out of Arizona has a pair of removed ones. 480-961-8946 I believe they sell to the public
Preferred out of Ohio (my preferred vendor............chuckle! ;) ) 330-698-0280 has one new surplus.
Or you could call salvage yards and get a pair of them, (and those might have the clips too!) Dodson, and Wentworth are the two I would call first.
