'67Glass size
roofchop - August 5th, 2013 at 07:10 AM

It's nearly time to have the glass for my "roof chopped" bug cut....
I have new cal look rubbers, thing is I need to know how much gap there is between the glass and steel flange on a stock bug so I can make templates the correct size.
It's not cheap so I need to get it right the first time!
I was in too much of a hurry to measure pre chop!

So anyone with a bug in bits (mid resto etc) could you hold a rear quarter glass in place minus the rubber and eyeball the gap all round?

(I already asked the "Bug" community and they ignored me!)

Jealous cos their Bugs are too tall!:lol:

Cheers
Dave

No bogus info from purists please!
