i also think that someone with as much skill as what you say you have? could have done a slightly higher standard of work. no malice intended simon.
my sheppach piece of junk lasted 5 months, that machine is not designed to be used for any thing other than a large ornament! buy the tormek or the worksharp, just keep away from sheppach
golden rule. always check your blind spot. it does not matter about the other car, you would have hit him! if you know you have a blind spot? wait a while and indicate before you pull across.
as per the regs anything above 1500 is fine. but i see it as good practice to use tuff glazing in all areas of the door. the low iron glass can help to with the centre pain u value.
should be toughened anyway. door or side light. also the op would be better off using 4/6/4. super spacer. with a low iron glass and argon filled. cost is circa £80 per square metre.
