Any recommendation on new glass suppliers? Want to order it next week. Need all glass, front sides and rear.

Hi craig will dig up a number of a guy that does my windscreens and pm you his number

[eyepeeler]

Cheers Gene, will give him a call. Thanks for the number.

I remember the Sports Sedan that they built for Bondy in the same colour scheme.

Pretty much dropped my load when I saw it.

Cheers. 

Hey Bomber, I spoke to them during the week. $1670 for rear and all side glass, they don't do the windscreen.
Thinking about it but just just curious if there are other suppliers that someone has used and liked.

I am going to contact the bloke Gene recommended early next week to see what he can do.

No pics from this weekend, just boring door hardware stuff and door rubbers on.

[eyepeeler]

Fair enough mate, just thought of them when you asked. 
 
Cheers. 

No worries, all good

Wouldnt think the windscreen would be too difficult to source.

I bought glass from an ebay joint in Qld. Not for a Torana though.

They were cheap.

$90 or thereabouts for the glass.

Windscreens OBrien quoted me around $380 to supply and fit.

Easy replacement took longer to unpack it than to fit it.

My racecar had a glass screen... but the rest was all lexan

Are you required to run glass ?

Hi Datto, yeah I have to use glass. IP rules won't let you use a substitute.

On the IPRA forum there was a guy selling the windscreens with a demister installed, was about $600 though.

Caliper mounts turned up today from the machinist. Good stuff.

[eyepeeler]

I have two GTS mirrors that I had spare. One is broken and I am making one good one to use from them both.

Let me know how you go with Paul

[eyepeeler]

I know it's useless to you in Perth but I have a demister rear window you can have.
Would've been good to give it to you while you were over here hey 

Cheers Daz, transport would be a killer from Melbourne to Perth for that. Shame I wasn't thinking of it a few weeks back.
Thanks for thinking of me though.

Let me know how you go with Paul

Will do Gene, I plan to call him before the end of the week.
Does he know you enough for me to name drop?? Would that be ok?

[Ice]

Yeah he knows me but then again who doesnt lol

[Ice]

I dont think i'd ever drop Genes name unless i wanted to get charged tripple 
 

 
Cheers. 

Obviously you havnt been told today DJ

Lighter isn't always better

You can have harmonics issues with poorly designed brackets resonating and vibrating if they aren't made of the right material and/or thick enough

 

They do look alittle kooky

But I assume your funneling some ducting between the bolt holes and thats why you have done it like that ?

 

I have some 3" nyladuct elephant cock if you need any for your flex hose.

 

Something like this ?
