Slight bodge I know but could you temporarily fit the glass just using a windscreen rubber (instead of bonding it in)?
In your '14 you've got the cage fitted so structually it wont make a difference. Then once you get the correct screen you can remove the current one easily.

Other Leader! You mean coordinator
I do have a planned route to the International 914 Meeting.
Just need to work out where we buy our lunch and tie up with the two 914s who are on a boat behind the main party.

Sounds good in theory but not aware there is a front screen seal rubber that would hold the screen in place. Given the frame profile it wouldn't have anything to seal to ?

Have seen this done on a 914 in the UK. I took a picture of it but not been able to find it yet. Will look more this evening. Took a photo as I thought the car looked strange then realised that it had no Chrome trim round the windscreen then realised that there was a rubber seal in place. It was a yellow 914 with painted bumpers I believe (possibly a 916 kit on it), in the car park (which was a field) at an annual PCGB event (some large stately home somewhere), if anyone (ie Kev) remembers it.
