Window frame material
Posted: Thu Dec 19, 2024 3:01 pm
I am working on restoring a 1946 Cessna 120 and the frame around the windows appears to be very corroded (probably from sitting out in a field for 20 years).
I am trying to figure out what this material is and if it's something I can fabricate a replacement for.
There appear to be two components, made of a couple parts:
1. L-channel aluminum around the entire frame
2. A square (maybe box tube?) inner frame in two parts that holds the window into the L-channel
Has anyone replaced these? I can't find any specs on these sub-components anywhere.
