windscreen glazing

[Cyberbeej]

Does anybody know anything about Glass for the windscreen.

I have a windscreen frame thats has perspex in it, need to get a piece of laminated glass cut to fit the frame,

Whats the script with kite marks for IVA?

Any suggestions on where to get the glass cut? anybody got any experiences to share?

I had a windscreen made for my boat a couple of years ago.
I made an exact pattern out of plywood and ordered it in toughened safety glass. I ordered it from a local double glazing supplier

The cost was next to nothing and it came complete with all the embedded kite or spec marks

i thought i had read something similar before somewhere.

I have a template as the original is perspex, which will make a good template hopefully.

thanks for your help,

kite mark is no good for iva. it used to pass sva but its changed now. the requirement now is the correct E mark. cant remember the exact number but its in the iva book.

I can only think of one way a decent screen that ticks all the boxes as far as iva goes is ever going to materialise. It needs enough people to put their money up with spud or talon and have them made in numbers. Then weather gear could be knocked up on a pattern that would fit all. Theres buying power in numbers! I am up for it as the bit of hair i have left cant be used as a bug strainer.

Its a little smaller now, in the process of fitting a dry sump system to get it to sit lower in the chassis and manufactured 6 throttle bodies that does away with the massive inlet plenum chamber. Managed to reduce engine height by 100mm so it will fit under the bonnet, i like the clean lines and being a bit smaller than average height, i want to see where i'm going.
Also helps get the centre of gravity down.
