Re: [MarcosManiacs] Real glass Rear Window

2010-05-08 by Denman Mike

Hi Hal,
I need the details for the Marcos T-shirt(s)you want.... size, color, quantity etc. as i am making up the final order.
I have ordered a Plexiglass rear window from Aircraft Windshield company and the cost was $431 plus shipping so it was not cheap... on the other hand, they have a mold and have a reputation for producing quality distortion free windows. My window is due in next week as they have a quick turnaround. I will let you know how it turns out. I asked them to make mine oversize (as in not trimming it back to the original line since my original window had been trimmed too much and had gaps in the sharp corners as a result). My glass window is for sale for $400 plus shipping. This is a lot less than I paid for it from the UK. and less than I am paying for a plexiglass rear window. Let me know if you have any interest.
Mike Denman

Give us a price.
I would like to have one as a pattern for a mold to make the perplex rear screens. I had a glass one in the early 70's that is in a car in Michigan, but lost the mold in a move and haven't been able to get in touch with the owner af the car.

I have, perhaps, the only real glass, rear window for a Marcos in the USA. I bought the rear window from the Marcos club in the UK. I don't know if they are still selling/making them or not. I was told that the glass windows were expensive because the sharp curvature on the ends resulted in a large number of these rear screens being broke during the manufacture. Regardless, I have a glass rear window on my 1966 Marcos 1800 GT that I am thinking about selling. I was told that this rear window fit all of the Marcos cars from 1963 up through the 1970's and perhaps beyond. I am going to make my Marcos into a vintage race car and I am going back to a plexiglass rear window to reduce the weight. Email me at mikedenman@sbcgloba l.net if you have any interest.
