Classic Mini Windshield width?

I've been going nuts searching the web trying to find measurements for a classic Mini Windshield. I've always loved Mini but this time I'm building a fiberglass bodied dune buggy and I need to find a curved windshield that isn't too wide for the body. I will build a frame.
I'm hoping someone can help me out and measure your car and tell me how wide the windshield is. Close is good enough. Heigtht would be nice as well but width is the crucial number. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, so much. Perfect answer to my post. Where is the best place to order one from? Any aoutomotive glass shop should be able to get one?

I'm sure you know but the classic 'dune buggy'

is based off of a VW chassis

and hence the VW glass is a good place to start from . .

If you are looking locally, try Dan @ Classic Auto Glass in Mesa, he might have one.

vw windshield

If I used a VW windshield it would be the only VW part on my car. It will be tube frame, mid engine. Acura K24 or Subaru. A arm front & rear. I love glass bodied buggies. Not big at all on VWs.
