    Broken windscreen

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

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Legality

    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,
