I have 4 spare windscreens and as I was cleaning them in order to find a good one for the next project I find that 2 are 0.250" thick and the other 2 are 0.195" thick. Can anyone tell me why this is as they were all taken from MM,s of one type or another. :-?

Triplex toughened windscreens were used after October '63 so perhaps the thinner ones are from earlier cars?

Laminated and toughened screens are different thicknesses

Laminated screens are indeed likely to be thicker - and are extremely hard to fit without cracking - be warned!
