Windscreen aluminium channel

Where on earth do you get a) info on the size required and b) the channel itself? I've looked everywhere and can't fine any information. Also what about the glass - is there a min. thickness for SVA?

Leave the screen off for SVA you dont need one for the test, if you do fit one then you will need demist and wipers/washers.

The book tells about reusing shower cabin parts (for the chanel, not for the glass).

For the glass, the "only" requirement is the marking, which proves the "right" thickness too.

I would search for a flat laminated screen from a scrap car, ie Renault 4, and make it cut to size by a water cutting shop.

Cant help regards surround but the glass must be marked BS857, BS857/2, BS5282 or BSAU178 according to my copy of the SVA manual. Auto Windscreens - agricultural dept will cut the correct grade of glass to suit on site.
