Hello All

This spring I managed to break the glass in the passenger side door of my classic mono, a long story. I got it repaired and although this is reasonable the crack is still clearly visible and I would like to get rid of it altogether.

I managed to purchase a couple of used XS doors which of course are tinted but I think looked a lot better.

However my mono has had the cockpit width mod done and while fitting the new doors what I thought might be an easy fit has now turned into quite a difficult amount of work.

I am thinking now that it might be easier just to replace the glass in the original door?

So to the question, does anyone have just the original classic clear glass for the passenger side or can direct me to where I might get one?

I am not averse to replacing both sides with XS tinted if clear glass is now unobtainable, but it would come down to cost.

I have been told that they are only now made new in the States and that there is a massive lead time in obtaining them, is this true?

I should say that although I have previously built an aircraft, I did not build my Europa. 

Thanks

Mike

Good afternoon Mike, 

My build occurred during the demise of the original Europa company and I was shorted all my â€œglassâ€. I went to LP Aero here in the US and they had them available. If I were you, I would want to contact them directly to make sure you having the cockpit width mod doesnâ€™t effect the â€œglassâ€ you need. 

They are located in Pennsylvania, which is the Eastern time zone. Phone number 724 744-4448 or email info(at)lpaero.com. And you can look at their website at lpaero.com. 

Hope this helps.

It will probably be easier to do the width mod to the doors as it's a fibreglass piece that Europa supply. It's much less work than changing the glass and much cheaper. The width mod door inserts are less than £100....the glass will be ridiculous!!

Hi Mike,



I have a new pax door clear canopy in stock. You can have it for £150 which

is less than the shipping cost from LP Aero in the US.



Kindest Regard 

Ivan
