If your looking for a windscreen

[Zedn]

My glass from O'Brien is XYG glass. Yes it's from china. No it's not crap. They are a 30 year old company supplying glass to GM, Ford and VW.

What is the 'considerable difference' exactly between the pgi and others?

No worries...

I'm guessing you're not wanting one??

Never suggested your screen was "crap" ?

Yesterday...I asked the opinion from someone who works with Cobras, whether the PGI screens were anything "special"...because I didn't want to buy them and get stuck with a bunch of screens that I couldn't sell.

I was told that MANY of the windscreens currently coming out of China were of very poor quality....( cracked and chipped easily etc.), and that he would always put PGI forward as top quality.

He also said it was probably going to get a lot harder to get good quality screens for a reasonable price....so thought that these PGI screens would be very popular.

That's all I was saying.

If you are happy with your XYG screen, then that's great ...no worries.

They are long established and seem to be perfectly fine.

They also cost a LOT more than the screens I'm selling...so....not sure what you want me to add ?


Cheers,
Warren.

Already getting a good response, so get in while you can if anybody wants one.

Cheers again.

I actually do need new glass. I built my frame from stainless steel sheet using the glass as a template. In doing so I accidentally cracked the glass. Back then I had less money and more time.

Just interested to know what the difference is between them all.

I just built a swimming pool with a glass infinity edge. It's 2x 3.1m lengths of 19mm glass 500mm wide.

A company wanted $6.5k to supply and install glass out of China. I bought the glass locally and installed it myself in half a day for $2.5k. In this case I don't know the break up of labour and components but it saved me a lot buying local glass. (Unless they were charging $4k for half a days labour!!)

I won't say what my glass cost for the cobra because it's your thread, but I can say it was no where near what's been mentioned in this thread.
