I have a cracked rear window from a 1962 car that I would like to replace with perspex. Any suggestions as to someone who could use this to make me a one-off replacement?

Hi Mate, just looking up where your based, my FIA man is reading surrey area from memory.

Regarding the screen yes I used ACW motorsport Plastics Ltd 01275 546008 ...... Good service and didn't take the P on price.

Is the glass flat? If it is you can buy a sheet of Perspex / Lexan etc and cut it yourself

If it’s heavily curved you may need it moulding over a buck and the moulding costs may make it expensive for a one off, but if there is demand you could probably sell others.

Does anyone race this car anywhere? Someone may already have created a mould/buck?

Thanks. I have made contact with ACW and I have also emailed a hello/intro to the chap who I think will be the key person on the HTP process.
