Is this an S screen?

[tvrolet]

Hi
I chipped the screen getting it out the car, and so I'll need a replacement at some point. I'm pretty sure it is an S screen that's been used, but not positive. It's triplex with the TVR logo, and a reference '43R-00006' in the bottom right corner. Seems to be the only reference on the glass apart from the certification stuff. Sound like an 'S' reference?

Thanks

Just checked mine, it says 43R-00056.

When it was changed recently the invoice said 'TVR Griffith'

[axe]

Mine says 43R-001252 if that interests anybody

[glassman]

Any numbers found on the glass are manufacturer / compliance codes.

So, what we're saying is I have to measure the screen; there's no way of knowing what it is off the codes themselves. Pain, since I'm 400 miles away from the car until Friday...

I'll get the measuring tape out when I get home.

I think S/Griffith/Chimaera screens are the same, although that probably isn't much help.

Except it's actually a Tuscan racer that the screen is from, which I understand was made with an S screen in mind (hence the question), but it may have been modified to take a more 'popular' screen as a number have been...so I still need to identify what the screen was I took out. My money's on it being from an S, but not so much that I'd risk ordering one on the offchance it's from something else.

As a guess, a proper tuscan racer has the S cockpit/body shell, I'd plum for the 'S Tourer' out of those

sorrydid not realise it was not for an S ... no idea then

Just out of interest - whose part numbers are those?

They're not TVR numbers or Autoglass for example?

They are Eurocodes. These codes are allocated in a chronological sequence for each manufacturer's model range; the first two digits identify the manufacturer and the second two identify the model.

The much earlier TVR 3000M Coupe (1956-59) is identified by 35** which is the Ford identification code. The 92 and 93 prefixes identify the later, or 'OTHER' (TVR) manufacturer codes.

tvrolet,

My S3 has the same 43R-00006 code as well.

[530dTPhil]

As Glassman says, the 43R code is statutory information on the glass and gives no clue as to what the screen fits. For some reason, glass manufacturers are very reluctant to include the Eurocode within the statutory information to aid identification.
The original Tuscan Series cars (to 92)use the 9255 screen. Don't be surprised if the 9255 and 9265 screens become hard to get in the coming months. One factory is having production difficulties and another is having quality issues.
We have stocks of most TVR screens including the Tasmin, 3000S, Griffith, Tuscan, Chimaera, M & S Series and Vixen. We offer a fitting service and can bill your insurance company.
