Broken windscreen

[Aaron IIA]

I have just broken one of the windscreens on my SIIa. Does anybody who is coming to Corowa have a spare for swap/sale?

[Homestar]

No, but if they have 2, bring them both along, I'll grab one too.

[Cobber]

That's something that does seem to survive so your chances of finding another are quite good. Good luck to you both :BigThumb:

Very cheap just to get somebody to cut one from some laminated glass.

[Aaron IIA]

Cheap only if they don't find out that it is for a windscreen. I would pefer a piece of toughened glass though. If the last one was, it wouldn't have broken.

It cost me $220 for both sides of my series 3 when had it

Any glass supplier, at least in a rural area (used to cutting laminated glass for fitting to a wide variety of tractors and machinery), should be able to supply.

Yep. Mine was in a rural town from the local glass bloke and cost $26.

Mate of mine (Kallangur, not very rural) had his truck window replaced quite cheaply - could try finding a place that does truck windows, as a lot of them are flat glass.

Hello from Brisbane.

Getting a window glass cut locally might be in breach of your local safety compliance rules.

A friend is restoring a 1938 Vauxhall and needed to replace one of the side windows which is a flat pane of glass. On looking around he was told that it had to be supplied with appropriate certification marked on the glass for which only a limited number of auto glass repairers had capability to provide.

Whether that is correct or not, it would be worth checking before you have a run in with a registration authority further down the track.

Finding one off a wreck is probably easier.

Cheers,

I replaced both panes in my IIa, the glazier said it didn't have to have the markings on the glass but he did supply a receipt saying it was toughened glass should it ever be queried. Apparently that is good enough in NSW, not that I checked with the RMS.
