Best of luck my friend. We're talking needle/haystack here but you never know, something may come up.
Then you've got the headache of sticking the things in.
The day after I bought my 126 I opened the drivers quarterlight and it fell out onto the drive and smashed in to a million pieces. I was really lucky to get one ( through Rustysuncle I think ) but sticking it in securely was a nightmare I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
I found all the Araldite type 2pack glues were not strong enough to take the leverege on the bottom pivot. I got hold of something special in the end though, so if you get stuck let me know and I'll find the details. It's a glue used in the avionics industry and made by Loctite.
All the best..

I'm pretty sure you bought that glass from me RichK!
Ishould have both sets minus the drivers glass.
I'll have a look tomorrow evening and see what pops up.

Indeed its tricky to source these, i am missing the correct glass on mine on the passenger side (got the chrome catch on it still though, just got horrible black metal base to it), they are very tempermental to fix as well but the loctite glass glue (halfords do it - not cheap) is brilliant as long as its in the sunlight for a good 10-12hours to harden off properly on a level surface, best bet is remove the whole assembly and clamp it whilst glued on the workbench i found...

Sorry Michael </6
Have found a company in Italy who have the glass, if you need it.

Don't have any yet!
Am trying to get the whole car from a trike builder, but he wants to strip mechanicals first.
Will keep you up to date.
