Folks, I have a VB windshield in my 66 Tiger.  Be aware that new glass 
is thinner and stronger than our old stuff, so you have to take 
precautions as the gasket slot is too wide for the new glass, and wiggle 
a little, and will leak if not sealed(adhesive), otherwise the fit as in 
shape was correct.
