Marcos Maniacs

Hi guys,
 
I spoke today with a representative of EOF Pilkington Classics which owns
the glass manufacturing facility north of Toronto. During the initial part
of our conversation, he told me that they would be willing to undertake the
project but there was a prerequisite requirement for 20 units of each type
and a deposit of CAN$5000 before they would undertake the manufacture of the
molds. However, when I mentioned that Pilkington in England had molds of
both screens, he proposed talking to a counterpart in the US who sourced
hard-to-find items and suggested this colleague might be able to sort
something out. I sent him photos of the front and rear coupe screens to
assist in the search and hopefully he will get back to me soon. There was no
available estimate on cost at this stage but I hope to be able to get one
soon. As soon as I hear anything further, I'll pass it along.
 
Regards,

Subject: [MarcosManiacs] Marcos Glass.... revisited


Hi All,
I have heard back from Hayes on the Polycarbonate rear windows.
Here is the information he passed along:
 
Price $250.00 each
Shipping (in the US): around $45.00 each
 
Hayes much prefers these as they are much more forgiving and easier to work
with than a glass rear window.
 
To re-cap other quotes>>>>>>
 
Marcos Heritage Spares prices:
Rear Glass Screens       $345.00 each
Front glass                    $452.00 each
Rear Perspex                $145.00 each
 
Shipping from the UK to one destination for 5 fronts and 10 rears $3216.00
(rough estimate)
Customs: ??
Shipping inside of the US to each destination: ?? (would most likely be more
than the $45.00 Hayes quoted since the glass is heavier).
 
Paul Crocker of the Marcos Club:
Rear Glass Screens       $220.00 each (rough estimate)
Front glass                    $267.00 each (rough estimate)
 
Shipping from the UK to one destination for 5 fronts and 10 rears: ??
Customs: ??
Shipping inside of the US to each destination: ?? (would most likely be more
than the $45.00 Hayes quoted since the glass is heavier).
 
 
To get the items from Marcos Heritage or through Paul Crocker, we would also
need someone here in the US willing to part them out and ship them to their
individual destinations.
 
So, here are my questions to the group:
1.	Is anyone still interested? Drop it or continue???? 

2.	Paul, can we contact the glass company in Canada and get estimates? 

3.	Is it worth contacting the glass company in the UK (Pilkingtons), if
we will face the same sort of shipping charges? 
 
Everyone that was interested, please LMK your feelings on this issue!
