[Dano]

Job done got the one that was the same width but not the same depth works great Just have to get some small pinch mould to go round the inside & outside the opening Will post some picks when done Cheers Reid

look up Universal Engineers (formally Adlam Enterprises) they do all this kind of stuff I was like a kid in a candy store when I took my samples there to be matched for a car I was building

[Dano]

Adlam is now UES in malaga, body builder supplies......

my last hopes for the USA and the UK hve now also been exhausted, however one of the suppliers/manufactures said they could make some but at a minimal purchase order..... how much , i am not sure at this stage . Dano

Dano, I face the same problem and I've been giving it some thought. The only reason that I can see for the top Bailey channel having to be so deep is to accommodate the shaped cut out at the front of the side window. What if we were to replace the front window glass with a straight cut rather than the shaped recess at the front. Then all you would need to do is to push in a spacer into the upper opening first first and then a standard depth Bailey channel next. Keen to hear your thoughts.

yep good thought, the original "drop cut " was believe it or not ... the demister... back in the ol mother land....I am wondering about new glass my self having just had some glass cut  and tempered for the wife, ment to but forgot to ask them at the time.

why is it, that all beddie glass is so badley scratched? food for thought... anyone had some new ones done?  price?

I'm hoping to play beddies tomorrow , will have a good look at it

[Gordon]

Yep, Dano, the front windows are flat so can easily be replicated. There is someone down CF Jeff's way here in NZ who does replacements in tinted glass for NZ$80 for a pair. My barn door glass is pretty badly scratched but they have a slight curve which makes them difficult to replicate. I thought of taking them along to the guys who remove graffiti from glass to see if they could polish them up for me. Its on my "to do" list. I'll let you know how I get on.

awesome gordon, you've got me all excited....will get some prices next week.still havent had a chance to get outside yet.....handbrake is well and active, DOH !

can i go play yet?

Gordon, the straight ones will fit in the back doors, they came out curved and flat

[Gordon]

Hi Busy, so if I use one of my curved windows as a template and have it cut in flat glass it will fit OK ?

Now I am the one getting excited.

Cheers Gordon
