I tend to agree with Mike - the weather just doesn't get hot enough here to
shatter a screen, at least not one that isn't already seriously flawed or
stressed. But I'm at a loss to come up with another convincing theory...
I had no idea tinted windscreens were available for the Spitfire! Originals
are clear, I'm sure. Autoglass do know that your MkIII has a different
screen to the MkIV/1500 don't they??
Ah, just checked Rimmers website, and they sell clear and tinted (both for
round- and square-tail), although the tinted is #22 more.
The advantage of tinted glass is to reduce the glare of the sun in your eyes
- but in a Spit, particularly if you are tall (like me), the sun shines in
your eyes from over the top of the screen anyway, so the tinting doesn't
help much!
