Use Lexan. It bends quite a bit before breaking.
Of course if you can find a set of "Baker" side curtains, the frames
come apart. Baker made repro side curtains in the 60s. I bought out all
his left over stock in 93. Rick Moses bought all the side curtains from
me. about 12 pair. Although not original, they were a major improvement
over Weathershields.
I have a set and one of these days will put tempered glass inplace of
the plexi.
