(...) Thanks for the research. After some deliberating and opinion asking on www.brickish.org I decied to drill out the four windows I need to work this way. My first modded parts! My reasoning was that, as you said, some of the windows available do (...) (20 years ago, 24-Oct-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.parts.mod)
