    Has anyone found a source for GTS vent glass. You can buy reproduction from Superformance and Dino Parts but it is not correct. The glass is flat without the slight bend to it. I need a left and right for my Chairs and Flares Dino coming out of the paint shop soon.

    I still need the door glass! Both sides., as mine came with De Tomaso Mangusta glass (not in the doors)
    and of course, the aftermarket ones are trash.

    Jon, I might have the vents, but not home til next Tuesday. Please mail me then, otherwise I'll forget :)

    Have you tried contacting Glasswerks or PRL? They can make custom glass from a template, although I am not sure they will make curved glass.

    Care to clarify ? Is the needed glass supposed to be flat or curved ? What is incorrect in the currently available reproductions?

    As mentioned, I might be able to help, but would need more details. I've been producing glass for custom, obsolete or vintage vehicle applications for 20+ years.
    For example, I currently produce, sell and stock all glass for 365GTB/-S (Daytona), except Spyder door (drop) glass, though these will be available in the near future.

    The correct vent glass is curved.

    I still need two door glass, anyone?

    Regards, Alberto

    I need the L & R door glass, that suffer from the same issue. They are misshapen,

    yes they do fit a Dino door very badly, and leave a huge gap between the door felt and the glass.

    As an aside, I simply do not understand the logic behind going through all the trouble of making something mediocre,
    when it can be done properly for the same outlay and effort.

    If anyone has a set, I would hugely appreciate hearing from you.

    Regards, Alberto
