Title: Is Shat R Proof the original front screen for these cars
Post by: Sparkrite on Friday,December 18, 2020, 06:18:42 AM

This is what my 73 tc special has on it but the side and rear glass is triplex toughened glass. I have to replace the front screen as it was damaged in shipping. Banks and Paul mattey will not have new front screens for at least 3
months,but it would be good to know what should be there originally.

I am not familiar with Shat R Proof. FWIW, my car came with Triplex glass.

Pilkington make the windscreens for Europas, probably with the original TripleX branding.  You may be able to order direct from them, or you can try out their "find a classic glass specialist" website tool here.

that first word is unfortunate as part of a name for a company... (perhaps that first word has no meaning outside of the UK?)   :huh:
