[Rhodes22-list] It's time to say good-bye to GeoCities

[John Lock]

Earlier this year it was pointed out that the only side windows you  
can realistically replace with opening ports is the aft-most pair.   
There is a slight curve in the cabin top forward of that and if you  
torque down an opening port over that non-flat surface they will  
certainly leak.  There was brief discussion of making shims to go  
under the mounting flange to achieve a really flat surface, but this  
really sounded like more trouble than it was worth.  Consensus was  
only attempt it on the aft-most pair and make your surface prep  
meticulous.

Cheers!
