Merc51 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Hey Does anyone have the following info? Windshield glass dimensions? (to get them cut to...) Glass thickness ( just in case its different from flat, easy to get glass.) Type/ style and size of the rubber "glazing channel" that the glass sits in in the frame Am doing 2 windshields shortly. Tks. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZM29C Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hello Merc51 @Merc51, Apology for taking time to get back to you but I had to dig out of my shed an old Weasel windscreen pane that I had saved. A bit of a disclaimer here. The dimension below are 'As Measured'. The length of the glass is 689mm (2' 3-1/8") The height is 402mm ( 1' 3-13/16") Thickness 6.35mm ( 1/4" inch) BTW the pane is laminated safety glass You will have to double check my conversion from Metric to the old imperial units as I don't work in that system. The channel rubber extrusion I believe is unique to the weasel. I purchased a NOS length many years ago from Patson Parts in Alaska but I am told that they have closed up shop and Dave Yamulla has acquired their weasel parts inventory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M29C3284 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Just to confirm John's measurements. The dimensions on original technical drawing are; 690,56mmx403,22mmx6,35mm (27-3/16"x15-7/8"x1/4") and the corners have a 6,35mm (1/4") radius. And it's made from laminated safety glass. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merc51 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Thanks, I take these measurements and run with them. Need two glass sets cause I got another weasel. Sat in shed for 12 years plus. Pics: no hull number ...yet. 😞 Dennis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Tipton Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 The information they put in these manuals always amazes me.... - well played @Kislerich 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 That looks like a 1956 (#33) letterkenny rebuild data plate.....likely also a letterkenney hull. look for vertical welded seams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErvingGoffman Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I also worked with a windshield replacement company and if you have hired an experienced auto glass repair expert then it's easy for them cut down that auto glass.

Idaho Jim Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I will use the specs above (THANKS GUYS!) to have a pair cut. Not just sure how the frame comes apart. Mine might have been welded. ?? Idaho Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZM29C Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 @Idaho JimAt the centre of the windscreen frame where it pushes into the hinge frame you will find a small round head screw (photo 1) and on the side frames you will find 6 special special screws (photo 2), three per side. Getting the frame to separate can be a character building task. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho Jim Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Ah, good to know! I soaked the screwheads in paint stripper to help unstick them, cleaned, and soaked in wd40 overnight. No go. Used an impact screwdriver and twisted off 4 heads and tore up the slots on the remaining 2. Now that I see what's there, I can punch out the remains and construct new ones on the lathe. I will be pulling it apart, cleaning, oriming, and painting before the glass guy puts in fresh glass. Thanks very much for the pictures! Big help.

Idaho Jim @Idaho Jim I will look tomorrow on my work PC as I am sure that I made some drawings on those screws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
