Big Window Glass Supplier

I am looking for suggestions on who to purchase 1956 F 100 Clear Big Curved Back Window Glass from. Cost of Product and Shipping are consideration but Fitment is important also.

What have been your experiences?

I was more looking for any experiences you had with Vendors making them worth giving my Business. I obviously know how to find a Vendor. I do not need installation however I do want a Quality product.

You made it sound like you were looking for a vendor that sold the glass. I believe it's time I stop trying to help ..

Yes if you get offended that easy this is a question you should avoid.

Note the Original question was: "What have been your experiences?"

If this upsets you please stop helping.

The reason I ask is because there are many bad companies who are not honest or who might just send me a bad product. I look at this forum like I look at Google reviews when I choose a Restaurant. I want to know how others have been treated and give my Business to a Company that has earned it by treating my Fellow Enthusiasts Good. This is also to your benefit that we help the Good companies and weed out the bad ones.

Maybe you should look for a Question mark to understand how to frame a question. Since you want to be an *** a Period concludes a statement and a Question Mark proposes a Question. So I am looking for suggestions on a Vendor and want your experiences.

This is what a Question Mark looks like "?'

Instead of being a douche why not just move on and live your life? See that is a question.

I'd guess these are all made from the same company I'd be more concerned about where you get the rubber from

they didn't fit that good when they were new

Hi,

I've googled and found a bunch of different answers, but I'm really interested in knowing exactly what transmission this is?
The answers that I've found are:
- It is the Jaguar transmission from the X-Type
- It is a purpose designed 5 speed, designed & mfg by Ford
- It is a purpose designed 5 speed, designed & mfg by Mazda in Japan

I suspect the truth is a melding of 2 or 3 of these answers.
Does anyone know what the origin of this transmission is and if it is a straight swap from another vehicle?
PSU A - esp32
PSU B - pixels

The circuit powers a esp32.. The esp32 board can trigger a relay that turns on the PSU H which powers a set of fuses on the PCB that is used to power up some pixels.

On the the PCB I have a jumper between PSU A and PSU B so that I can run it all of one PSU.

My concern is that one day I'll forget to remove the jumper and power both and get a nice bang.

So can I put a diode after the jumper so that I can power the esp32 from PSU B.. And stop flow back from accidentally happening from PSU A.

The esp32 I'm using needs 3amps.
Thanks
Jim

I got a bearing and gasket kit for an '84 F150 with a four speed from them a few years ago.

EDIT: Boy I think I got lost in the wrong internets again!?!

Pilkington is the world’s largest supplier of vintage auto glass. A high quality product manufactured by Pilkington,

The rubber is best bought from Steele Rubber, high price, but high quality.

This is a definitive answer to your question.

Regards, Mark
