I need a front and rear glass? lids for weight reduction on my '76 914 street/race car (which I just got) what do you figure will be the weight savings?

I am thinking to use OEM hinges (less springs) and use 2 x quick release in the corners for each lid

I am not that fussy with fitment (as lont as it fits) - I was just going to spray non matching flat black

great site - I am ditching a bunch of used 914 parts soon too but I need to organise and take pics

well since I am here...any advice on what brand of turbo tie rods to use prices seen to differ wildly
