    RTV 500 windshield

    If you dont mind me asking,what did you use for the windshield? I have got the clamps but curious how the plexiglass or Lexan forms to the ROPS.The curvature of the cage has me wondering if it will bend to form without breaking.Home Depot has a sheet 48"x48" of .222" plexiglass for $55.00...

    RTV 500 windshield

    </p> I just ordered the SS rubber coated loop clamps from Mcmasters Carr.Pack of 10 was 7 bucks and change plus shipping.I may do what you did and go with the 1/8 Lexan so it can bend to match the cage.Where did you get yours Mike1234?HomeDepot had the .222 plexglass for 55 a sheet,36x48.</p>
