Cannon Classic Sleds should have repro windshields.

yeah I would think that cannon would be able to make you one, make sure that you tell him that you want chrome trim and he should be able to do it. He does really nice work.

Yes, the '72 windshield has chrome trim.

I provided the NOS windshield for Jeff to make the mold from several years ago.

Thanks for the info on the windshield. Does Cannon make them out of thicker material than the original so they don't flap in the breeze like the old ones?

Jeff uses a better grade of material than SnoStuff so they stay upright.

Hey Greenfever, I have a good used one on the 72 jd400 that I was trying to sell as a whole. There should be a picture of it somewhere in these classifieds. I would take it off for you. Check it out and let me know thanks Bill

I measure the windshield at just shy of 15 1/2" tall. This windshield is largely rectangular, and has chrome trim.
