Sounds like your getting stuck right into it
the cab glass would all be flat glass I would have thought if so any windscreen place should be able to cut the bits out you need for not much money

Re: JCB 3c MK3 new addition
just a couple of pics of progress slow but sure
rear wheels now removed and some time cleaning and painting. looks much better! the pressed metal 3c badges are a bit worse for rot will have to try to replace or repair.

Re: JCB 3c MK3 new addition
yes theres a slight bend in the rod but i dont think it will be a problem its been very difficult to find any replacment track rod ends but i managed to get this complete tracrod with the ends allready on and they seem pretty good . i do think the photo does make it look more bent than it is though
