M38A1 Windshield Dimensions

Post by davistroy »

I need to make a pattern for the glass shop to make windshields for my M38A1 - does anyone have the length and height of the glass (I can figure out the radii)?

Any luck yet I haven't gotten out to the barn yet too much snow here in Ohio but I have a template I will measure it for you if you don't have it yet.

The parts lists says to use a piece of 1/4" thick safety plate 16" x 50". The best bet is to take your windshield off and take it to the glass shop.

I finally found a place that will make the glass(es) from the frame and gasket - it is a placee that handles old car restorations. Most places I called only handled stock glass installation, not any cutting.

FYI - it is Farmer's auto glass in Mableton, GA.
