Rear dino screen

[thecarbuilder246]

Hi
right the next subject is the rear screen. I know the real dino's had a rear screen made from lexan (trade/brand name but in reality another name for perspex). Superformance have recently added these to there e-catalog but at £400 +packing and shipping +vat, quite an investment!!
I'm quite a hands on guy and will make the required templates and jigs to form the screen.What I need is info on heating and shaping the perspex.
Or if there is anyone already out there suppling them.

Hi me again:blah:
I'll have to check the IVA manual again.Hopefully the rear screen doesn't require
the dreaded E-mak too.Forgot this on the first post.

hi
it seems that the rear screen will also need e-marks:icon_cry: so the next question is who supplies perspex or plastic glazing with an e-mark.
It seems the power that be dont want home builders to buld anything. or they are in cahoots with just about everyone to keep pricing us out of our garages.:nono:

You'r quite right, if you can't ban it outright just legislate it to death.

My rear window is 'perspex' (or similar) but I had it made from the original 206GT's rear window which was glass. (I loaned the glass item to a plastics company who duplicated it in plastic)...
