"I put some duct tape around the window to keep it from falling out when I removed the retaining ring from the inside wall.Curb Window outside"
Outstanding work featherlite. I'm not sure I would have remembered that. Probably be spending the rest of the week trying to find a new window. I do have 20/20 hindsight however.
Well from the sounds of it I'm thinking you could take a 2-2.25" strip of aluminium or stainless or...maybe copper or brass for an interesting detail, That is equal to the inner circumference of the window and use that as a decorative bezel to cover the gap. There are lots of different types of trim available but you'll want something you bend without kinking or distorting too badly. Obviously it will need to be wide enough to get a screw in each side, unless you have some material in the middle of the "window sandwich" that a screw can bite into. That window looks to be chest level when standing inside so it will be fairly visible. This is a opportunity, or a problem, depending on how well you pull it off. Shoot for the opportunity, do something unique and classy. Here is a chance to show off your talents.
How about something unexpected that could be crafted to represent your taste, some special wood or leather with inlays or some such thing. I don't think it is a structural element, is it? Shoot us a pic when you get time.
Quick quiz question, for bonus points.
What is the formula for the circumference of a circle...Ring in if you know this one, Not you Don, or Mt. Don or Irrowe or hank or ottctc.
