Window frames
I have not been able to find out much about door window frames being made of mild steel (painted) or stainless steel and was there a difference between home and export models?

Re: Window frames
My '51 MM is from Belgium, LHD, and has painted steel window frames...
but the previous I had, a '54 RHD and a '56 RHD had stainless steel window frames.

Re: Window frames
My 1952 (home market) has stainless steal frames. 

Always a pleasure… Never a chore!

Re: Window frames
Early mms came with chrome tops, then they were painted later on. Export cars had chrome ones for a time. 4 doors saloons all had stainless tops as did travellers.
Re: Window frames
Thank you every one for replying,I was really wondering about this question my car is pretty original and has stainless frames ,I did some research and could not find conclusive evidence.

Re: Window frames
My MM was made in May 1950 and was fitted with painted steel tops when I bought it, they were in seriously bad condition with both quarter light catches broken so I changed them for later stainless one off a traveller.

Re: Window frames
My left one was also rusted, but today I found another one ;)
where to buy the rubber between the quarter light and the door?
Does ESM have these parts?
