Anyone have or know where I can get Windshield Glass for Speedster?

I bought mine from Vintage. They were quick and the crate, that has a $100 deposit is still here since it costs more to send back. They sent all the way to Canada and the cost was reasonable. I also ordered the rubber TOP and BOTTOM with mine. This was 2 years ago when I bought Fern, it came with a cracked windshield.

Do a search on the forum --- there was a guy in New Jersey that had a source for them. Think it was Bruce Young (Swell356) in Wycoff, NJ.
yes it was, i checked with other "members" who needed windshields
and put together a "group rate". I approached a windshield
wholesaler and asked how many speedster windshields they sell a year.
he replied 5-6. i asked what if i bought 10 now and the price got
much better. since then my "contact" sold his company and moved on
and started another wholsale company. the last time i checked the
windows he had were no bargain as he was now buying them through
south africa. the windows were made to order for him previously
in asia (much cheaper). if we want to try again and arrange a
"group rate" i'll give it a go. but it didn't work last time.
another variable (read above) is your location. if you live within
driving range of one of the builders you win. otherwise you have to
pay about $75 shipping in a special box that costs $25-$35. hence
the "close guy" eliminates the $100 shipping issue.--bruce
ps--i contacted a windshield mfg but i couldn't justify the 600
minimum order, sorry.

I have them here in Sydney Australia for $250 Aus.
Shipping might be a bit rough though.....

I wonder if there is enough demand for the windshields?
I know of a small company in Hackettstown NJ that makes reproductions of rare windshield glass......................

I have one on it's way from JPS. So I'm covered for now. I'd get a spare if the price was right!

Yearly gathering at Carlisle or Knotts might be good opportunity for group sale and pickup --- if someone has a source. I'm sure buyers for 10 could easily be found on east and west coast!
I could use one myself,let me know I live in New Hampshire/new england
Count me in if anyone gets a source.....gn
As of now, I have come up empty handed... seems no one knows the current location of the custom windshield guy that was in NJ
Count me in if we can score a nice rate.
