|
|
I bought a thunder ranch riot and was surprised when it was delivered, it has a lean windshield, not safty glass. It cannot pass inspection for street use until I find a replacement.
I have read a 1974 corvette rear window is what was used originally. I contacted 3 custon windshield manufacturers and was told they could not make one.
I've just started on this and thought someone here might have suggestions as how to solve problem.
Thanks chuck |

All rear windows are made from tempered glass. They will not pass as a front windshield. One stone and it will shatter and cover you and everyone in broken glass. Windshields have a plastic hayer laminated into them to prevent this. |

You are 100 percent right, found this out after I posted. and thank you for your reply.
Also I found a company" pilington glass " home office in europe, but offices all over the world.
They can make windshield for any one off kit car.
Luckily there is a plant in springfield, mo. I live about 50 miles away.
I may have to mortgage my home, but I can have one made. Problem solved. |

I looked at a picture of a Riot. I think you might mean '78 Corvette. _________________ "Just $99 down and $64 a month for 36 months buys you a brand new Volkswagen Beetle!"
