While visiting with the only other local bugeye owner, he gave me a pair of
very old side curtains for a bugeye. They are simple iron frames to which
plastic was apparently glued. In no way are they intended for any kind of
sliding plastic panels. One still had a sheet of plastic wrapped around the
frame. Imagine a thick baggie stretched over a coat hanger. If they were
homebrew, then the metal work was very well done, the welded on brakets fit
the bugeye mounting screws perfectly.
does anyone know anything about these? My first inclination is to cut and
fit thin sheets of Plexiglass (1/8") and pop rivet or silicone them to the
frames for some passable but unopenable sidecurtains to last me until
something better cones along.
