did not know that the side windows ever have been laminated glass....my lightweight glasses are only single layer safety glass....even doubt that the pictured glass is laminated.
look at the edge of the glass on the picture with sky in background...
BUMP

Let me know if any interess

Attachment 502936Hi Marek
Can we clear something up,the glaverbel logo,is there two different types,i thought only one with the H with rounded lines as per photo.
Which is correct
Regards
Paul
I will check In mine stack of pictures I have
I have no idea if they change it or not ,
But "mine" are take of some real windows I got , and I copied that / them
Onest no idea if they where like that for a 73 RSR and different for a 74 RSR
But if you want to buy a set with the rounded H, I make it for you thats a Easy fix :-)

Marek: Are you talking about making just the 2 rear side windows that you had previously made for 1400Euro?
Hi Doug
I know what you are thinking ...seriously!!! yes just the 2 rear side windows for 1400€ and that is cheap :-)
I cant tell how many I sold over the last 6 years I have been making these.. but.. and I have seen them resold for 4* that
why that expensive.. complicated production and 75% gets smashed in the production
But I understand you 110%

Btw your flaps are in the mail
Understood Marek.Quote:

I believe that most all of the windows (except windshield?) were made of Glaverbel....is that correct?
Guess that would be a hideously expensive proposition to do these days....
I'll keep your rear side windows on my Christmas wish list for now.
They look very cool.
And great on the mud flaps.
Can't wait to get them.
My 914-6 conversion has your GT oil filler neck, so perhaps the mud flaps will go on that car.
The photo i put up is from a 73 car,a good friends very original lwt also has the same logo as my pic.
I also have some rep windows which the glaverbel is the straight H,a person assumed this was correct and copied them from photos! At a porsche show.
I believe my reps were made years ago by a certain german race shop.
I could poss be interested if the logo is correct as per 73 cars,thought 74 were also the same.
Regards
Hi Marek
Do you have a website , I could do with the Mud Flaps myself
Hi Yellow491
Just picked up the stincil prints with the rounded letter H
I am doing a limited run of these .. let me know if you are still interested
Or anybody else offcause , its a must for all RS lightweight or RSRīs
note its NOT a single layer reguar glass ,its laminated thin glass as originals
it will not be a part I will have on stock
Regards
Marek

Started using series production opening vent window parts during Spring ( iirc April ) 1973 as part of the progressive productionizing of the once limited edition homologation model. Another one of those small details of what a friend who has researched these cars for years terms "heavy lightweights" of the third series M471 Sport variants.
It is good such parts are being remade but sharing this for folks to avoid those going to great lengths to replicate a presumed original feature from making a glaring mistake if used on those later M471; wouldn't be authentic to repace M471 that had a factory opening vent based on a common misunderstanding!

The 1973 RSR Windshield was Glaverbel as were the two rear side windows . The windshield was very very prone to cracking. The rear was thinner Seckret (spelling ?) I have thin glass on my 73 RSR doors.

The M471 spec changed for pragmatic and no doubt cost reasons. One of many known documented spec changes during the lifecycle regarding the part being reproduced offered here ...for avoidance of doubt my post was not referring to the M491 variant of 911744. My point being simply to pont out not all M471 that get dubbed with the somewhat misleading term "Lightweight" actually had this lightweight thin glass on their two rear side windows when new.
Steve
PS I leave aside the discussion that early RS had thinner sekurit glass as covered elsewhere and is explained in RS Book. That is certainly the case but not so relevant to the different even thinner fixed brand being reproduced here.. even if the two thinner side glass points on early RS are often also confused!
For the purist
Very limited stock
Note the letter H :-)
The 1973 RS windshield was lightweight Glavervel too. I believe only mine survives.Quote:

Was the M471 lightweight glass only for the 1973 and later cars, or did it apply to the early 1970/71 perhaps 72 cars as well? M471 is not well known for the 1970 cars.
THE 1969 factory werks lightweight car GTS has a lightweight windshield specified. Not sure if it’s the same as on the RS.Quote:
