Where you are located would help with a recommendation. There might be someone local so you wouldn't have to have the glass shipped.

I know that Brattons stopped supplying windshield glass. I ordered a pane for my roadster and got a call saying that they were getting out of the glass business. Then they called back and said they found that they had one pane left and I got their last one. Probably too many breakages in shipping that made it a losing proposition.

no they did not have a problem with breakage. It was the cost of packing material, shipping costs, and time it took to pack made the project unprofitable for them.
