[Healeys] Windshield Glass-Pilkington/Triplex

Hi Jim,

I first bought the cheaper windshield glass from Victoria British.  After
three attempts to install it and finding that the glass appeared to be too
narrow from pillar to pillar and therefore not seating deep enough into the
seal at the edges I sprung for the the Pilkington glass from Moss.  It was a
better fit.  When I received the Pilkington glass and compared it to the
cheaper glass I noted that the curvature of the Pilkington was greater and the
glass was wider pillar to pillar.

Having said this, I have also heard of many success stories of those using the
cheaper Moss and V.B. brands.  This is just my experience with the two.  If I
ever have to do it again I will buy the Pilkington glass if it's available.

Good luck,

George Haywood
