Can I use a rear windsreen on the front?
Is it allowed for SVA ?

Probably wont be laminated and thus not appropriate (or SVA approved) for the front.

Next question: I'm looking for a windscreen which is about 105 cm wide (underside)
Any suggestions?

robin hood made a kit called "the Go" it used the rear sierra i think, have a google and see what you find



or
go

You have a U2U

Onyx are using a classic mini rear screen with built in fine wire demist on their latest track car.
Is a demist function possible on a toughened glass window? I'd have thought it was easier to make using a laminated screen (no idea how to check without a hammer though )

I've heard opinions that it wouldn't get through an SVA though, and they seem to think it's light enough to go through on the quadricycle SVA last time I looked on their website.

Are toughened glass windscreens SVA compatible? (independant of whether they are a good idea) Haven't got a SVA book handy...

105 cm is very small. Even a Fiat Cinquecento is about 128 cm wide at the bottom and 101 cm at the top.

I am gathering information for a new build:

I like the contour of the Zonda, as you see the windscreen is small.
I'm starting with the bodywork, I will use vacuumforming in stead of GRP for the body.

What about a Smart Roadster windscreen?
Its about 110 cm wide.

try Renault 4 it have the smalest windscreen as I know

On an electric project I was working on, we used a Fiat windscreen. Was the smallest laminated screen we could find.

Came off a 124/5 ???? not sure, but was a little 12? thing. Fiat 500 as well is worth looking at.

Otherwise, someone with a waterjet/abrasive cutter should be able to cut just about any screen to shape.
