Seems like a treasure hunt to find a dealer that supplies all windows for a '72 Bay. I've looked at JBugs, Bus Depot, Pierside Parts--these have some but not all. Just Kampers US has all of them but they appear to be Brazilian make? Are these windows of good quality?

Is this a standard--have to go to different sources to get a full set?

Also, hard to find the 3/4 glass for the rear/sides with vents.

Thanks for any advice.

For flat glass check with bustedbus. I had them ship side glass to me. I got my windshield thru my local glass shop.

This is pretty much true for ANYTHING on a vintage [insert hobby name.]

Thanks all for the help and the PM. Going to be a couple of weeks before I'm able to re-engage.
