Re: [MarcosManiacs] My 1600 GT making some progress.

2014-07-29 by larry meadows

Not to be discouraging, but I have had 3 windscreens in the last 40 some years for my 1970 Marcos from the factory, and all have arrived safely however, I have had to reshape the opening to make each one fit the car. The three other cars I have restored all have different opening than mine and each other. There does not seem to be any consistancy with the fit. 

Regards,

Well, Arizona is actually close to Nevada.
Never heard of U.S made windscreens, wonder if they fit properly?

I will order two, from? just in case.  What about shipping charges from the UK?  It would be nice do to a group buy, problem would be to get them around the USA. I am in Southeastern Arizona.  My project is finally moving along, at least the doors are starting to fit, and the latch assemblies appear to work.  Sunroof is no more, "glassed in".  I hope I can make an air conditioning system for the car.
