quarter light rubbers

Post by ronpal »

I am about to fit replacement rubbers ( the old BullM type,extruded sectio) and i would like some hints where to start. At the moment the upper pivot pins are loose,since I have had to replace them. So how do i fit the rubber to the frame? Seems like it might slide on but how would i then introduce the glass section? How would i then fit the upper pin?
I presume this has been done lots of times before,but i have failed to find any description.
This is proving a hold up point,so any hints or clues would be greatly appreciated.

It presses in rather than slides. The upper hinge can be riveted to the frame after the rubber is fitted...
