Is there any problem with fitting opening windows to the rear of a 78
Mayfair please? i.e. if I pick up the windows and seal will they fit the
existing aperture?

Make that a 1983 Mayfair

yes, they will, you have to carfully measure the location of the hinge
mounting holes in the rear quarter so the window sites properly, the rubber
seal will just stick in.

When I first read this I thought you were going to make it do what my 206sw
does and open the rear screen. That would be cool. Then you could get a
surf board in

Well if it is a Mayfair, it really should have had rear opening windows
anyway. But if it's been converted to sealed jobs, the holes should already
be present?

My Mayfair also had fixed rear windows,

I converted to opening ones because I was having difficulty fitting the
fixed ones back in after the rebuild, and I had a set anyway.
I held them in place whilst I drilled the front hinge holes and once they
were screwed in place drilled the holes for the over-centre catch making
sure it was a tight fit.

But all Mayfair's were supposed to have opening rear windows! Are you sure
yours was a Mayfair and not a City or a special edition of some kind?

Only going by the log book that says it is a Mayfair.

It has been around a bit, when I was doing the bodywork I found that it has
been resprayed 4 times over the years so a different set of rear window
could have crept in any time. I supose it could even have been built on a
different shell at some time as both doors were from a different car, they
started off lime green and the shell had never been that colour.

Well it's good that you've got it now and you can sort it out properly.

It's back on the road again,

it as his daily driver.

I need to concentrate on getting my Mini back together. I've been at mine
for 4 years, lost a bit of motivation over the winter, too cold in the
garage.
