There was a thread a while back in the kit car section about bespoke glass - and a PHer could do small runs at what seemed reasonable prices.
Much of the cost is in setting up the templates.So it's usually a matter of finding out which manufacturere has the templates for these cars and then agreeing on a minimum nuber of units.
The problem is that no one wants to lock up capital in 100 bits of glass that could take 20 years to sell.
Obviously, side glass should be much easier than screens etc and wouldn't require the moulds etc.

Maybe everyone could get together and form a club, oh, hang on a minute...The problem is that no one wants to lock up capital in 100 bits of glass that could take 20 years to sell.
The rear boot glass is done by one of the plastic/poly carb people already, so you can all upgrade to that... One of the trackday types on here runs it - cant remember the name, silver T350 with a black and orange stripe- so thats sorted. Side glass is even easier, probably not one for a poly equivelent as its nice to be able to break something to get out in the event of a roll, then again, they're a bit small?!

Thats Mark (T450t) who has a rear hatch in plastic, can't remember how many kgs saving it was but it was a lot.Called Glen at Ashington, He has no door glass, But he does have 2 rear hatch glasses, He wanted £800 each for them, I will stick with my £50 back plastic one
However Racetech have the door glass, so ordered that last night, phoned to confirm & said it would be dispached today, Fingers crossed,
I will make 2 polly carbonate copies of the glass & possibly use these instead of glass
