Anyone know the best place to buy a new windshield for a 46 BC12D? Also what should I expect to pay?

I believe there are only two manufacturers.
L P and a west coast company Cee Bailey's.
LP runs $170.00 to $190.00
I replaced my with a LP 3 years ago. Had to cut about an 1'' off the bottom and a little off each side.
Not a big job but took most of the day.
Any supply house carrys the LP brand. I think the Cee Bailey's only sells direct.
They are listed in TradeAPlane. WWW.ceebaileys.com

Wayne,

I just bought a wind screen(actually 2) from Aircraft spruce. They will cost about $170 apiece; however, Aircraft spruce can have them shipped via ups ground which will save you a bunch on freight charges.

Thanks to all, I like the UPS shipping idea. That could save some money.

Re: Windshield

I have a 1945 BC12D S/N 6628. I am thinking about replacing the windshield. Aircraft Spruce offers windscreens for 1946 and later. can anyone tell me the difference between a '45 and a '46 windshield or where I can find a '45 windshield. Does any one know the the thickness of the plexiglass.

Re: Windshield

Aircraft spuce and Univare are selling windscreens for 175.00 + - .
The lowest price of all windscreens listed.
Both companies are good to deal with.

'45 is the same as a '46 and '41 Deluxe, they all use the post war boot cowl. They all originally used that later style instrument panel.

Re: Windshield

Wayne,

Do you recall how much you paid for the windshield you bought from CeeBaily's? I looked at their website, but didn't see any listing for Taylorcraft.

I have used Aircraft Windshield with good results in the past.

Aircraft Windshield 10871 Kyle Street Los Alamitos, CA 90720-2410 Phone: (562) 430-8108

Call and ask for Judy, she is the owner and very knowledgable. If I recall, her prices were very competitive.
