914 Windshield inside OEM Glass Sticker logo?, Anyone making these OEM Windshield Mfg. Stickers Options

[TJB/914]

Looking for help if anyone makes these OEM Windshield Sticker's?
Are they different for every model year?
Many years ago while restoring my 914 I used a solvent to clean up the windshield glass & destroyed the letters. I would like one for my OEM original windshield (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

i just found that one too.
i just had to try and find out what it was.

bless the new zealanders. must be something to do with being two islands full of car nuts who import stuff all the time.

translates as this.



i think what it is mr b is what the german had before the pan european standards were brought in that involve the E in a circle with a code system that goes with that.

i came across a german vintage VW blog and the version there said the herz symbol (the wave) means safety glass. so the D-XXX with a particular number is highly likely to be the german certificate that goes with that particular type of glass construction.
ie float/float. or float/toughened etc laminated. and for side windows etc the various types of toughened single sheet float.

pretty much the equal of the M code in the USA requirements which is the line above it on most of those german windscreens.

it all goes something like this.



i pulled my spare windscreen down but was not game to get the screen out of the box on my own. its all packed in there still with its proper foam edge protection. two person job to get it out and not risk damaging it. the marking was hidden by the foam protector pieces so i could not get a photo. the screen is dated from 92. i remember now i ordered it via hamiltons the distributor in australia shortly after returning from the USA.
it is a genuine screen. be interesting to see who the manufacturer is. nothing on the external box. only marked with porsche branding on the packaging.


EDIT
ps did you find that on the new zealand registration authority website like i did?

I wonder if you can a few missing smdescriotions such as for the DOT 31, M# etc. also I’m pretty sure that the F in ‘Laminated F’ means tinted glass.

you would need DOT documents from back in the early 70s.
i have managed to find some stuff before from EPA but.........

and as @vitamin914 says you need the industry code books for particular manufacturers to get the M number. god knows where you find those now.

AS1 is not hard. it just means America Windscreen Glass. must be used on windscreens.

i did look up the PET.

there is only 4 windscreens.
3 of them have the same part number. you got to look across for a bit more description.
the last 1 has a different part number. its for a heat protection glass screen.
so there is only going to be 4 of these M numbers. or am i wrong?
and the description line for the manufacturer will be different at the end after the brand name of the glass. the bit where it goes F/F and HI. these will be different letter.
and i suppose there are four D number certificates.



lesson is, for those thinking of just faking up a transfer to do the "originality" thing on their windscreen better be careful which "original" marking you copy.

and it looks like from year to year there is subtle shifts in the graphic re-arrangement of the markings.

a bit like the tune up sticker on a 1.8.
is that an EC-A or an EC-B mate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

it would be fun to go along to a PCA concourse and mess with the judges minds? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
its way tricky stuff this quest for originality.
not sure its a worthy endeavour.
better to just have a few original cars sitting around in museums and go for it with the rest of whats rolling. hot em up. whatever. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
