Real glass instead of plexy / lexan

We tried to put the lexan glass pane we got ourselves when we started the project in the cab and it was a quite unpleasant surprise to see how much the lexan bent in the middle, That was an absolute show stopper, so we decided to go for real glass, which was surprisingly cheap. A glass manufacterer in our hometown cut the 6mm glass for us and it was just 50 euro for a 1040mm x 605mm glass pane.

The first thought about mounting the cab's glass pane was to install some aluminium angles to the side walls, which turned out to be a bad idea, as the TVs mounting rails are as wide as the cab's inside and the would collide, so getting the TV out of there would be a major PITA.
So we were quite happy to have the possibility to correct that design flaw by routing 6mm deep, 10mm wide rails in to the cab for the glass.

That was really hard to route, so forbear with the outcome. Fortunately the rout will be covered by the siderails anyway and no one will ever see it.

We took the opportunity and fired up SketchUp
