I have an extra windshield that I am cutting down two inches (chopped in
hot rod parlance) because it looks so cool. The posts and frame are finished
and I am trying to get the glass done. I am using a serious glass fabricator
to do the work. On the first try they discovered that the moss supplied glass
had manufacturing stress built in that caused a failure. (not a problem unless
you try to cut it) They suggested we try glass from a different manufacturer
as it may not have the same stress patterns. So I'm looking for an alternate
glass manufacturer. Any leads or information would be appreciated.
Regards
Ray Juncal

What is the intent? I think
windscreen glass is hard to cut once
finished because of the laminates that keep
the pieces from separating when
broken - could be wrong here!
I bought a pile of Bugeye parts
that had
a windscreen made of Lexan (sp?) which I believe is pretty tough
material. I
gave it to a buddy that races on - he said it was to reduce weight.
It was
really clear and the slight bend, such as with the 100, is not hard to
accomplish.
Just a couple thoughts,
regards,
CB
