light weight windows

[Driftben]

im am after a bit of info on the acrylic windows, can i buy a sheet of clear acrylic and cut it to size and fit it or does it need to be FIA approved stuff?

cant find a company apart from vinkmotorsport.nl which do them

It doesnt need to be approved unless you are entering competition racing id expect

Well I'm entering the e30 into semsec motorsport this summer ;)

You can buy it as a sheet and cut your own, no problem.
Make sure it's the right spec, though - min 4mm thick iirc.
Look it up in the 'blue book' http://www.msauk.org/uploadedfiles/msa_ ... hicles.pdf
Also double check that the series regs allow plastic - some dont.

Thanks Jason Iv been having trouble finding a place which has suitable stuff to do the job. I'll have a look now.

Well iv just ordered a complete set consisting of a rear screen, 2x 1/4 and 2x front side windows. It ended up weighing in at £230 delivered. Didn't think it was too bad. Will update when I get them.

That semsec championship sounds like good fun - I'm tempted to enter my E30!

[Driftben]

You should do theo. I'm yet to do my national B licence but I'll be doing it next month.

Would be good to have another e30 off here to talk to
