[Zmagnette] Wiring diagrams and windscreens

I really like the color coded idea, and agree with Honourable Leader: Mr. P should get paid for his efforts. I'm willing to hold out for a color coded PDF or whatever electronic creation comes up.
Having spent the last 2 - 3 weeks trying to follow an enlarged version of a B/W VW schematic, the thought of a color-coded schmatic makes me all a pitter patter. Following them dern little black lines has led to a few "talking to my Creator" moments!
FWIW, if we had such a creation, the "end user" wouldn't even have to print it at home. Most of these copy places will have you email it to them, they'll directly print whatever size you want (with my eyes, I'm going for 12 x 18 FEET), and have it laminated for you, by the time you go pick it up.

Perkins,
I think your idea sounds like a plan, but I also think you should be paid for your time and effort. If you could hang a price tag on the completed item, perhaps we could price it out and have folks receive the PDF file once they're paid, or maybe there are a handful of us on the list who just want to kick in enough that you would be comfortable distributing it to all. What works for you?
Thanks!
Allen

Rick and Allen:
As I'm sitting in hotel rooms, I could reproduce the wiring diagram in Visio and color the wires in as correct a color as Visio will allow. Then output it as a PDF file that anyone could print on either 8.5 by 11 or 11 by 17 paper. We could even use this to fix the problem with the wiper motor wiring that is in the factory shop manual.

Allen et al.,
Regarding (1): I would be happy to scan the wiring diagrams from the shop manual. My scanner is a cheap hp printer, but it could produce a workable digital image. Then anyone could print and laminate their own from the digital file.
If you want an artistic version, suitable for framing, you might want to use a better scanner though.
Let me know if you want a digital scan.

In a recent phone conversation with one of our own, two concerns arose which I promised to address about a week ago. I apologize for the delay, but my past week has been memorable for its interruptions.
Two questions:
1.) Is there somebody in our noble band who either could or would be interested in making up enlarged wiring diagrams for the Magnette. I know there are at least four of them, and maybe some choices would have to be made, but did somebody volunteer that they could provide an 11 X 17 wiring diagram copy either laminated or suitable for lamination? If you are not such a person but have access to equipment that could produce same, for a PRICE of course, I can guaranty you sales of two of these from the get-go. I know we discussed this at some time but cannot recall how we left it.
2.) We also focused on a windscreen thread a year or two ago, and somebody found that Pilkington (?name?) had a US distribution center (somewhere in Ohio?) from which we might be able to expect a supply of new windscreens. Is there a follow-up story here? There are those of us who either need one or would buy one as a spare should they become available. Once again, any new information about this would certainly be welcome. I know the nightmare Steve Hanegan went through to land a shipment of windscreens and rear Varitone glasses here in the US of A. I suspect a good many of those of us of the Varitone persuasion would be cheered to find a stash of these bits available in North America, but I wouldn't wish this task on Steve again for anything. So... can anybody report anything new on this concern?
Many thanks to anybody who can contribute to this conversation!
Holiday Cheers,
Allen
