I have followed the instructions described in this link
http://www.everybus.com/dworkin/vgon_jalousie/
to replace my driver side slider with a jalousie out of a 73 westy but
something does not jive.  The two vertical pieces that are 3/4" wide do not
seam to accomodate the 1/4" filler piece that is supposed to be sandwiched
between them. The  1/4" filler piece protrudes out most of the way.  It
looks like the 3/4" pieces should be 1" wide to be able to accomodate the
filler piece. HAs anybody who has done this run into the same problem? I
don't have my slider out and dont plan on taking it out for a while, but
does anyone know the measurments of the slider on the driver side?  Is it
in fact 42 3/8" X 16 3/4" as these instruction say?
BTW the router and tablesaw worked great at cutting the aluminium.
Thanks
Pascal
