[Zmagnette] Wiring diagrams and windscreens

[Allen Bachelder]

Many thanks Adrian!  This sounds like we're getting VERY close to the answer we're looking for. I did take a glance at the Pilkington website and see that they do have a separate division dealing in classic-car windscreens.  ' Will be anxious to hear what's in those new crates.

Holiday Cheers,
Allen

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.

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?
