You are probably best contacting Tornado themselves, have you tried?

What are the regulations down there? In the UK the side glass has to be safety glass and have the correct markings applied by the window manufacturer.
Even Tornado may not be able to supply with the correct marking you require.

Hi,
I would ask again on the GT40s.com forum. Helpful, friendly bunch. Andy Sheldon (Tornado owner) is also on there and could help if you catch him on a good day! He will obviously sell you any parts you need also. Note that in the UK, many GT40s go through our pre registration inspection without side windows as this solves the requirement to be able to adjust the mirrors from within the car.

Specs for the windows vary by manufacturer as far as I'm aware.

Note there's some issues with the Tornado suspension - the wishbones were upgraded to stronger ones due to a number of failures (make sure you run these at least), and the upgraded parts aren't recommended for track use. Also the standard set up suffers for Bump steer at the front, largely due to the rack IBJ being too short.
