Right might be buying some doors that have already been "Prepped" for perspex windows.

Just wondered if anyone knew the best place to get the perspex windows for them. I know "Plastics4performace" are ment to be pretty good but just wondered if anyone had used different companies??

Cheers

you need to make sure you use the correct materials and the correct thickness!

I think for MSA blue book regs you need 4mm thick polycarb, not any old PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate), but I could be wrong!

ahh i see didnt realise you where racing the beast!

yeah it got to be in the msa books..

I dunno if he's racing, but IMHO if going to the hassle of fitting placcy windows, I'd rather use the blue book as a guideline for what to use.

It's like fitting a roll cage but only fitting a polished shiney show one that bolts to your seatbelt anchors, pretty, but pretty pointless!
