    I also have designs on changing out the Throttle & Gearshift control unit as it appears not to be original & very sloppy. Any suggestions?

    Desman Glass was mentioned a while back

    It was in a discussion several years ago. They are in South Carolina. Website looks impressive.
    I have thought about putting a windshield on my 22, but I don't like the newer style without the bezel and don't have the fortitude to start from scratch.

    Depending on whether you want a Single-Lever Dual Action or a Double Lever Single Action, I'd grab a Morse MT-3 or look for a MerControl.

    I have this one boxed up in my basement if you want the Double-lever type.

    Desman is one of the best and can build anything. They always have a backlog, they are that good.

    That Desman Glass appears to be a VERY good contact to have . Thanks for putting it up .
    Just because something's old doesn't mean you throw it away !

    Thanks, Fisherman. Mine was ordered from the factory with a Shelby/GT windscreen. It feels so good on a hot day! (22C, not a 21 GT)

    ----Clear stuff on GT21s was definetly just plexi. It used to bend with the windshield deflection until really distorted and then crack. There are way better choices today that would actually help with the overall strength. Its just me, but I wouldn't want any form of real glass......Bill S

    Interesting Bill .
    Are you saying that there is better plastics today than the stuff that was originally used and that is what you would go for or you would take the option of tinted tempered and curved safety glass over just 'glass' ?

    I know someone who's just got his hands on a Magnum 27 sedan and the windscreen and porthole glass needs to be totally redone so he'll be asking me about this at some point .

    Just got the shifter unpacked - NICE ... really appreciate the hook up.

    It'll be installed this week & hopefully we'll get more rain to fill the lake so I can try it out.

    THANK YOU.

    Only a few more items on the check list to complete.

    Here's a pretty good pic of my frame, no plexi installed.
