336 windshield replacement

So mine is a 1963 336, Windshield P/N 1413702-1, got it from Great Lakes. They said 4 weeks lead time, but it arrived in 1 week. With regards to thickness, I have found no references in the parts catalog or maintenance manual to thickness - only going by the PMA parts that Great Lakes and LP Aero sell - their windshields for the 336 are 3/16". My windshield is out of aircraft now and it is clear that the channels are not sized for 0.25 thickness with felt as shown in the maintenance manual.

Another clue in "The great Center Strap debate!"

I finally got the windshield and vent window done. It took longer than I expected as I kept getting redirected to other projects. We got the windows from Great Lakes.

Now to order the side windows!!

Looks great Steve!

Mine need to be done, but it will be a year from now.
