Dave, we could use all of the drawings that you listed, could you send them to my email, and we are still trying to come up with a price for the window seals for you, hopefully one that won't break your back. James

I can however give you a number for a person you can readily purchase them from for about $25-40 each. dont know any price but her "friend" price, but im sure they are not too much more. if you still want the print when i return, ill gladlty print and scan it for you.

Hi Dave - Thanks. We have a spare, so we're ok for the moment. No rush on the print, we had some spare bar stock and I thought we might have our machinist bang a couple out when things were slow if it was the right material.

Be well, be safe and thanks for your service.

Take care,

Chris
