Doors/sidecreen material ?

One of my projects this year among the many is doors/sidescreens,i've found some nice strips of steel for the framework and i'll probably use hooding material for the main of the door.

I'm having trouble finding windows or material for,i'm after the flexible material as used on rear windows.
Woolies sell stuff i could use but its at a price and as usual i'm trying to keep that in locost fashion,so any ideas out there ?

Have you tried boat chandlers or the people who make the hoods for boats?

After owning a couple of boats in the late 80's early 90's i would hazard a guess that boat chandlers would be more expensive than woolies,i'll keep it in mind though as i ave a big choice in my area.

How about thin polycarbonate? More durable and as clear as glass. I got a half sheet (4'x4'of 4mm for £30 so thin stuff might be even less.

Find a nice convertible and take a knife to the rear screen!!!

I usually see clear poly... wrapped around the drive shafts/diif's of vans and trucks... how cheap do you want it?

Looks like there are a few sellers on ebay selling polycarbonate/lexan at a reasonable price,i think it will score with a scribe and snap to size which is handy.

I will keep looking for some flexible stuff though

... just noticed these on eBay, Bob (ntdwm):

Doors are too short for me i'm afriad,but the seler has some good parts for sale as it looks like they are going bike eng and no screen and roof.

could grab some bargains there

I bought some of the clear stuff as used in car hoods from a camping shop - same material is used for windows in tents.

Andy your a star i should have thought of that being a family camping nut.

cheers

I have the remains of a roll of the stuff from when I made my own soft top. How much do you need?

I made solid doors for my car with "bulges" for my elbows.
have a look in my photos.
