Does anyone know how thick a sierra windscreen is?
I had a bit of a lay down on the weekend and can't seem to find a windscreen surround anywhere!
I have winch and snatch blocked the frame fairly well... Bent th doors back so the windows wind up...
It's looking like I will have to make a template and get some laminated safety glass cut

I think the idea is his frame is no longer standard shape?

Cheers guys! Yeah tony that's it... I think it's close to normal but not worth buying a windscreen that doesn't fit.... I can't find a frame anywhere and when I do it's full of rust!
I'm going to ring suzi store and piranha at the em of the week but ill sit down so when they tell me a price I don't fall over!

It's definatly a toy car! Haha I got a price from suzi store....350 plus postage plus paint plus windscreen... Will be about 600! Bugger that priced up glass and that will be 100....
Laminate safety glass is 6mm.... I think it should be right to go in the stock windscreen rubber?

When I got a new windscreen for my lj the guy used my old one as a template and cut it out of the same thickness safety glass. You will need to make an accurate template. The guy that did it for me did a lot of hotrod custom screens, is in alexandra which is a fair trip for you for a screen. I imagine there would be someone closer to you though. You will need your frame to be flat no twist in it. Glass doesn't like to bend.

Toughy yeah ill make a template! It's flat now after the winch work I did on it after looking at it tonight I think if I do a little bit more a stock screen will go in... But I think I would still rather go the template idea so I know 100% it's going to fit! Haha
