Hi guys, well today I went to start an new project that I have put off to long now. It was to find a company to cut a replacement door glass for my 1982-FJ45 RHD cut from my template that I made when overhauling the truck and all glass was removed. Well now I cannot find my template that I made from heavy brown paper of the glass, my wife thinks it went into the recycle bin, Ah! Regardless I don't want to pull the door apart until I have a replacement glass made, that was the plan anyway.
So I need the help from someone with the same door type glass to make a new template out of your trucks door glass that I can use if someone would.
If someone would trace out the glass to the tee I will pay for the shipping of that template.
My door has a bug catcher so the glass is about 19 H x 18.5 W and 9/64 thick or around 3.5mm with a top corner rounded off and the lower corner cut. I have included pictures of my glass for reference (that I saved).
Also if you have a good door glass that you want to sell that would be good or a bad one that can be used for a template. Mine has 50+ very deep scratches that cannot be removed and looks like crap when the sun or back light is on it .
Any help welcome. Cheers.

I have a set of late doors I will be painting that have the window wing. I don't mind tracing the glass once I remove everything for pre-painting prep. I'm trying to have the parts painted by the end of summer. So, if you're not in a hurry I'm pretty sure I can get a template to you.
 
That's a real kind offer if you have the same glass as I. I may take you up on that but I am actually trying to get this done way before the end of summer, so with that said if someone can help me out well before you start on your project I will let you know, but I will keep your offer in mind if thats okay. It's just have no time at the end of summer. Big thanks.
