Yeah, I do.

Exactly what measurements are you looking for? My original glass is in their original frames. I also have a few empty frames handy so, if you are looking for the bare glass dimensions you might be able to extrapolate what the unframed glass needs to be.

Cheers,

Your respondent is telling you the glass is .226 thick? Unless my math is way off, that's less than 1/4". Not a chance. You had better double check that measurment.

Yes, there is a chance. The best chance actually, the correct one. The original glass is less than 0.25" in thickness.

Mine has laminated glass that, altogether, is far thicker than that. Alas, I am traveling at the moment so I can't put calipers on it.

Let me rephrase what I said. All of my NOS glass and originals pulled off tracks have been less than 0.25" and were also laminated. We know how much things differed during wartime production!
