If any one has a spare they're willing to sell, It would be a great help. Struggling to even find a flat piece of tinted laminate I could cut down.

Many thanks

They are flat. As long as you make a template any glass place should be able to supply correct toughened glass. Adrian Venn probably has them on the shelf but not sure if he is taking calls. you could try him. Google Exactly TVR.

That's a pity with Adrian. I got one for a friend here in Brittany this Year from Adrian, it must have been the last.
Maybe you could get a Door Glass from Adrian and use it to cut a Quarterlight from it. It would be big enough to cut out 2 or 3 Quarterlights. I'm sure on my 3000M one of the Quarterlights was cut from a Door Glass when i look at the Kite Mark on the Glass.

Is sundym different to tinted glass?
Reason I ask is my 77 jag has the option from new of tinted glass. No mention of sundym (which Jags had fitted) and I have the original options check list for my car when new, which simply reads tinted glass.
Maybe just search for a replacement tinted glass rather than this classic sundym stuff?

I would try Adrian again for a Door Glass and get it cut from that. Also try to get it cut out to include the Kite Mark "sundym".
Is it Green or Blue Tint.
The Quarterlight Adrian sent to my friend was taken from a Door so maybe it has the Door Glass still in it

He has lots of clear 1/4 glass but no sundym, there was discussion about him getting a piece of door glass watercut down, but they weren't to keen on doing it down to a price. The glass I have is laminated for some reason, i was told they were all toughened. I would be happy with swapping it for another piece of laminate but as mentioned finding flat tinted glass isn't as easy as I'd hoped.

I'll make a few calls, if not, i'll try Mr Venn again for the door glass.

I think Sundym is Triplex tradmark.

Thankyou all for the input!

I just checked the Quarterlights, Door Windows and Back Window on my 1976 3000M and next to the Sundym they are marked Toughened.
For me the only Laminated are Windscreens.
It seems strange to have laminated side Windows.
