High quality and excessive attention to detail, I guess!

So I've investigated this a bit more and have found that the notch is 
actually a separate piece attached to the inside of the frame by two 
small screws. My intention is to remove these and fill the screw holes 
with solder or silver epoxy. If I ever decide to rechrome my frames I 
think the conversion will be pretty darn close to factory.

Now I was wondering how the Imp engineers did this back then. Did they 
fill the screw holes prior to chroming the frames for the power vent 
frames. Or perhaps they retooled and cast two separate types of frames. 
The later was probably what they did since it seems that reducing costs 
through uniformity was not high on their priority list.

I cite this as my example. The almost imperceptible and yet decidedly 
incompatible left and right difference found in the back up lenses for 
the 60-62. Certainly this piece could have been the same for both 
sides. But it's not. Why?

I'm upgrading to power vents on my '62. I've obtained the motors and 
switches. Can I convert my manual ones over or do I need to get the 
power vent windows too? I see there is a large pin at the base. Is it 
different on the power vent window? Say with perhaps a slot for the 
drive from the motor?

thanks,
