can anybody help me out, i need the metal channel at the bottom of the door windows where the window catches lock to ( not the actual sliding channel), also the glass, are the windows available anywhere, or will i have to resort to perspex?

Against all the odds - see if you can find any Mk1 Mini parts

You should be OK with mk1 or mk2 hardware, glass may be more of a problem

I have the glass removed from my coupe at present and can let you have a template. Personally I would use a quality polycarbonate like Lexan or Macrolon. Perspex is not really a suitable material.

Cheers for the advice you guys , i appreciate any help, should have metal channels somewhere off one of my vans and i know someoe who glazes phone boxes so poly shouldnt be a problem really . My mate also has a coupe, so hopefully he will let me make templates off his glass.

Swap you my glass for some polycarbonate to make a set?
