As you remove the old windscreen you will destroy it. I'm assuming the aft portion of your canopy is okay. I have a canopy you can have that you'll be able to use for the windscreen replacement. It is my original canopy which I cracked during trimming. The vertical crack is midway aft on the canopy. I can send photos if you're interested. If you'd like it let me know and I'll arrange for shipping. Just pay the shipping and it's yours. I'll make a crate of some type to protect it. It is an untinted original Van's canopy that is already trimmed to fit. I suspect it will drop onto your fuselage perfectly. I've been saving the canopy just in case someone needed only a windscreen portion.

But I can consume anything. Say, where are you located - seems like CO? Anyway, next time I have an overnight near you I'll get a car and drive over for a soft drink. We'll save the adult beverage for a nondriving time. Stan Do not archive In a message dated 7/13/2011 3:07:21 A.M.

However, I already got a replacement full canopy when I ordered the replacement parts for the rebuild. The sliding part looks good, but there were a few things about it that I would have done differently. Since I had to buy a full new Plexiglass canopy anyway for the replacement windscreen, I decided to just take the opportunity to redo the sliding part too from scratch. I bought a new frame and fiberglass skirts too. If you want to build a grand champion, its got to be perfect! :-) Thank you again for the offer!
