OH Chris your '58 is beautiful! I've never seen a photo of yours. Quite a stunning machine - but now with a window! Nothing beats the washing drama like a Kelvinator. Well, maybe an Apex ;-) It is funny you post this when you did. Last week I dropped off the 2 speed motor to my '59 at a welder to have him take the clutch off the motor, and to see if he can weld the old one. If he can fix it, great - otherwise I've got the one from you. Love these AMC's! Ben |

well you know me. some 1/4 inch thick plex glass from the depot and the black trim is car wheel lip mold that i get from work. i had to edge the lid to make it look finished. i just tool the lid apart and traced the outline from the inner thing that holds the gasket ( should have taken a pic of that ) the drilled a hole and got the jigsaw into action. i was just happy it worked.

Was the lid porcelain? Sure wish you'd videoed the job. I can't imagine cutting porcelain and not chipping. I'd like to try that in some of my dryers, too. Mmmmm. Anybody have a Hamilton washer that needs a window in the lid? |

the wheel lip mold is what car dealers put on the fenders over the wheels its a 3m product and its not really hard but sort of hard but flexable with dbl stick tape on the back to hold it on. i took a pic of a dif kelvy lid that dosnt fit this machine but there is a dark ring and 4 screws that hold the glass in. i just used the black mold to trim off the lid where you can see the edge. robert.. if you want some ill snag a few feet of it
