Windscreen Glass
Hi All
Does anyone know anywhere in East Anglia that will cut windscreen glass?
Pre IVA, so it will need to be marked.
Cheers

Have a look in yellow pages for plant glazers in the windscreen section. SilverShield have a branch in Haverhill , might be worth a call

Most Autoglass windscreen depots can do it. My local does, he cuts for tractors and earthmovers.
Another you could try is Solaglass, glass suppliers.
Cheers,
Nev.

Hi All,
Thanks for the replies chaps, and for the offer Steve.
I've made a few phone calls and the general feeling is, unmarked, no problem.
E marked for screens seems to be another story. One chap said IF he could get it he would have to
buy an 8' X 4' and once he had cut the marked end off the rest of the sheet would be useless.
One firm however did have a plan. 
They offered to cut down a Land Rover screen to my template. 
I will phone them back in the morning as I have U2U'd David to see what his plans are. (see previous post)
It seemed an OK price too.
If this works out (and with the blokes permission) I'll post details on this thread.
It might be handy info for others.
Cheers for now
Paul G

Template made
Mmmm. It looks big. 
When I sit in the car and look straight ahead I'm looking 100mm below the top of the frame.
If I make it much smaller I'll be looking at the frame.
I'm not 100% happy with it, but any smaller and I will defeat the object of having a screen.
O well, off to the glass cutters I go.
Perhaps with glass in it will look a little smaller. Optical illusion and all that.
Cheers

Picked up the glass today from Dunstable Glass Co.
http://www.dunstableglass.co.uk/
Nice people. A pleasure to deal with.
Cut from a brand new Land Rover 90 screen. E marked etc.
I payed £109.25 with the VAT. (didn't think that was a bad price)
Just got to fit it in the frame now.
Cheers
