I used a nut and bolt in the middle with a big washer,then in used a self tapper in the running rail,I will try and find a pic in our Burpspeed build section.

Sorry Kev,just searched and I must have forgotten to take pics,if you get stuck pm me.

Yes speak to Paul he is very helpful.
Don't forget you can use 3mm as long as it's not for racing otherwise 4mm is required.

Brill, ta pal!
Do you know what the weight differance will be for the rear window by any chance?
Would be good to get some actual figures of how much weight can be saved by poly carbin

Not sure how ours are bolted in because as usual i was not at home when they were done.
As for the Rear screen, we were going to have it made out of 3mm sheet. But it was to difficult to form, because it has curvature across both ways. So we bought the rear screen from P4P.
On another note, our side windows were coated in a special coating, to stop scratches. And it makes a big difference.
Our rear screen has plenty of scratches on it where as the sides are perfect (even the fronts with sliders)
As for weight, the Rear screen is where most of the weight can be saved.
The actual glass of the rear quarters isnt that heavy, the fronts arnt to back either but you can get rid of the mechanisms.

What ever the price is on P4P, I have hardly been involved with the car for the last year, i havent even seen it since August last year 
dont even know if i can get in it any more with the new roll cage.
Carl and my dad have extensive spreadsheets with the costs etc on so carl (barron) is the guy to speak to.

Will PM him then pal, they dont list a price on there for just the rear, only the full kit.

Kev I do not think it's possible to "Pikey" a rear screen,funny shape.
B/G 182 + PH1 Track
Agreed, like i said we did try it.

As I said before,speak to Paul,he will give you prices for separate parts.

Bazzon,did yours come coated or did you do it afterwards?
B/G 182 + PH1 Track
Im sure we bought a piece of polycarb that was pre-coated, then we sent this to a contact, whos done them before, cut the windows and make the slides.
(again i will need to confirm this with Carl/Dad)

Surely cant save much weight on the rear 1/4 glass as they weigh f**k all anyway?

A very sharp knife and cut the seal from the inside or cheese wire.

rear quarters are just a rubber seal arent they? Unless its Mk1 I'm thinking of.
182cup & 172 racecar
No,they are stuck in with a mastic type stuff.

Personally i wouldnt replace the rear quarter glass for plastic, Im pretty sure like the windscreen they are part of the structual strength of the car which is why they are bonded and not fitted with rubber seals. I could be wrong but it came from a fairly reliable source.
182cup & 172 racecar
You can also get polycarb windscreens.Side windows do fook all,how could they?
Oh... so not a good idea to swap them? :S we are having a full cage put in though, would that not suffice??
182cup & 172 racecar
As I said,got a cage put tissue in if you want.
