Where to buy this glare shield ?

[Darren S]

My "new to me" -7 has a padded leather glare shield. It is a slider and the glare shield has a cut out for the roll bar support.

Presently it is cracking and lifting. I would like to buy a new one but I can't seem to find where the original owner purchased it.

Maybe someone on the forum knows. See the link below for a picture.

looks custom / one off to me...

the way it wraps as a single piece suggests it was done during construction as a one off install...

There is a -7 on Barnstormers that has the same glare shield too.

Judging from the paint scheme and panel layout it's the same machine.

Glare Shield

Daren,
I am farmilar with both airplanes, the glare shields were "One Off's" supplied by Classic Aero. Call Luke @ Classic Aero, he now supplies a production glare shield for the 7. The 2 examples shown were custom made prior to his release of the production units.

Although I like Classics interior...their glareshield cover has a lot to be desired. Try this thread I posted last week and you'll find what you want....and this one won't crack :
