Back a few years ago I fixed the crack that was in my steering column. Common issue with these so after seeing quite a few fit up the steering box brace I decided I’d make my own….

Aaaah yep, those will be the difficult ones! I forgot they haven’t been recessed like on Minis chopped FB wagon. Door glass won’t be so hard.

For side glass you could always get them cut, one of the guys had all his side glass cut for a 49 &*#@ using the originals as templates and they came with the aus standard symbol on them. All you need to do is make a plywood template which will also allow you to ensure that it will all work properly once installed. Any competent glass place can cut the glass.
