Windscreen glass
What glass do I need for making a 7 windscreen car is already registered so no problem with IVA. Do I want toughened or laminated.

I think i am correct in saying laminated. Touhened will shatter into lots of pieces and laminated willsmash but stay together. I am sure laminated is
what is on std tin tops.

laminated, toughened will shatter and was the original screen glass until laminated screens took over
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

My windscreen man used a Land Rover flat screen to make mine. The advantage of this is that it has all the necessary markings on it that would be OK
for IVA although I didnt need it as mine was SVA'd without a screen.

top end either.

Thanks,do not need the markings so will probably just go to local glazing place and get a piece of laminated glas cut from a template.

That's what I did to get a replacement for my Caterham screen - that was 4mm and cost about £35. I think some are 6mm.

Autoglass, Mobile Windscreens cut laminated glass all the time for stuff like plant cabs, Tractors etc
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
