Glass Dimensions
Please could someone volunteer to supply me with dimensions of 412 & 411 glasses-windscreen,rear screen & side glass,to assist identification of parts in the collection we're sorting out?
we moved 6 or so side panels from the attic yesterday,but no idea what theyre off!
Easiest way to do it is probably to measure to the trim edges
Cheers,
Peter

Re: Glass Dimensions
Taken a while to do this as I forgot and was reminded by Arcane posting his sizes.
As his is for a 411 Variant thought it might be interesting to compare window sizes just in case they are different
The rear most side window has a very slight taper to it dropping about 10mm along its length...thought it was my bad measuring till I lookd at Arcane's and he notes the same taper

Re: Glass Dimensions
Fantastic!
Well Done & thanks to both of you!
I'll print it & take it with me at lunchtime,so we can get some glass listed tonight!
& i'll speak to dave about archiving the info along with type 3 dimensions-would be jolly handy to have it as a reference

Re: Glass Dimensions
I forgot to add that the measurements i took were from the outside edges of the chrome trim inserts.

Re: Glass Dimensions
and mine where to roughly the inside edge so that could explain some of the variations

Re: Glass Dimensions
Just to confirm the rear window glass is the same for 411 and 412, and obviously the rubbers too.

Re: Glass Dimensions
This needs putting in the section on interchangability of parts, no?

Re: Glass Dimensions
I think I would have expected the 411 and 412 Estate to both have the same window glass. I was really only confirming the separate measurements taken were different because of where the guys had measured to.
