You must use polycarbonate (Lexan) to be legal in most racing organizations. Minimum thichness is 1/4 inch. Plexiglass will shatter, don't use it. Polycarbonate is what they make "bulletproof " glass out of. I just buy mine in sheets and have windshields cut from it. The place I go to locally sells 6x8 sheets and I can get two windshields from it plus some scrap. Last time I bought , it was about $350/sheet and a $30 cutting charge. All that I have to do is drill the 7mm holes for my fasteners. A flat sheet will work on a 914. I use about 25 fasteners and it pulls in to the contours of the frame.
