Is Eliseparts the only place to get them?

Make ya own?

I'm guessing the eliseparts ones aren't just flat pieces though?

No. Here you go. Same as Elise. Front screen, rear screen, side windows, different thicknesses, different colours, sliders, everything you could possibly need. Dont forget for the regs you need an opening window (slider) in the drivers and the passenger has to be vented. I used turnable bubble type vents for this, think I got them from Demon Tweeks.

The windows come without a fitting kit, you have to work it out for yourself but I can send you some photos of how I did mine. Just remember when fitting the slider in the drivers side measure 5 times and cut it once!!!!

No they are curved and its not that simple to make them.

[fiveoclock]

I have the 5mm clear

[The Batman]

Ah they are curved. The tms ones that where acquired moons ago where straight

[Zoobeef]

There's always something else you have to buy, nothings simple haha.

The Elise parts one's are actually slightly cheaper than the plastic 4 performance ones, as long as the are the MSA minimum of 4mm.

Trying to find the regs on them and all I can see i's the 4mm thickness and this reg

5.2.9. Have effective means of ventilating closed

cars.

 

So doesn't specify a slider? Or have I missed one?

[fiveoclock]

It doesn't mention a slider but you have to ventilate so the best way is to do it with a slider other wise if anyone talks to you in the car (marshall, organiser etc.) you have to keep opening the door. Yes the EP ones are cheaper bit not as good. They aren't shaped as well as the other make and they cloud quickly (I had then for the first season I raced). They are also 4mm and they are not rigid enough. For the extra few quid it really is worth getting 5mm.

And also in the middle of summer when it's like a sauna in there you really will wish you'd fitted a slider and not a little ball vent. So in the summer "effective" is a slider

I don't need both kidneys right? I should be fitting blanks to my lights so I need to get some cheap LED's for my tail and brake lights and I've bought a plastic cam cover (that's slightly lighter isn't it?) What sort of switch did you use for the ignition?

Make sure you get the bolts and gasket with the cam cover they're different to the metal cover ones

[Zoobeef]

There is 3 different version of those in our armoured vehicle, as long as they are of suitable amps....

 

It comes with bolts but hopefully a gasket too.

Ordered 2 5mm clear S2 elise windows from plastic4performance,  they didn't bother replying to my email last week about any discount!

 

Also ordered a slider and small poppet vent.

If you could send me a few pics please on how you fixed yours in Mark then that would be great!
