Gonna try to run 8.5j and 7.5j cant go any wider on the rear coz they have to tuck

Turns out sedan and hardtop windscreens are diffrent.F..U..C..K So since no one can find a hardtop windscreen anywhere my windscreen is off to vietnam to be used to make a mould off so they can make another one.Should be about 2 months away.Pain in the arse

Hi might be to late but did you call Steiger Glass my bro inlaw works there his name is Lee reckoneds he can get glass for most cars

John... are you sure on this?
I called my brother about this and apparently there is no mention of different part numbers between 2 door and 4 door 330's in his super manual thing lol... I would be suspicious that the hardtop 2door would have the same windscreen as the 4 door hardtop.
Where is this information coming from?
I'll look into this further but given that the trim is interchangable i had previously assumed the windscreens were too.

Always good to know stuff like this.

P.s. Keep an eye out over the next few weeks... i havent done photos yet but big things are about to start happening on my thread

No,I didnt try them but this isnt gonna cost to much.Its just a pain about the wait.

Yep im sure Theyre about 10mm diffrent,I pulled the one out of the sedan and tryed it in the hardtop myself...no good.The glass place had a diffrent listing for sedan/hardtop but couldnt get the hardtop glass.

Dattochrisswagon and others take note,heres Petes badarse 2 door hard top project

I hope the pricks that sand blasted the old one are going to foot the bill assholes

Thanks for the tip
Can i ask how much its costing? I might be interested in one or two as well - esp if it saves money doing a job lot
Also... Are you running a sway bar? I'm looking at getting an OS one fabbed up atm if i can't find anything big enough... obviously probably not applicable given your front member redesign- moreso just curious what you were doing with front-end torsion forces.

Cheers,
Pete

Yep I will be running front and rear anti sway bars had the front one made from scratch and the rear was modified factory,the car is never gona have world beating handleing so theyre nothing special.I'm not 100% sure on the price yet but I'll PM you when I find out.
