[Zmagnette] Wiring diagrams and windscreens

[Arch Boston]

Like most of the group my wires are mostly dirty oil color.  But, I would like for mine to be in color.  Might make following the wires path easier to follow.  Unfortunately it is too cold to do anything with my car until things thaw out a bit, Arch

>> O.K. I got us a decent blown up copy..very readable with the color code guide on the bottom. Maybe next week early I’ll go into the big city where there is an Office Depot and get several sheets laminated. How many do we need???
>> Oh Yes..how badly are they needed?? That will help me determine a $$$$ value of each one, Really
>> need =High $$$$$ value right??
>> Actually I don’t remember what the Depot gets for 11 X 17 sheet laminating but it’s pretty cheap.

>> 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?
