Spinflo Caprice 2020 glass lid emergency

[pilchard]

Does anyone have a van dating from around the same age as mine... 2001... with a Spinflo Caprice 2020 oven/grill/hob
I desperately need the sizes of the glass lid of the cooker... if it is the same model..
An easy identifier is that the original smoked glass lid has a "cut-out" in the middle of front edge that looks like a hand-grip.
I need accurate measurements to within 1 millimetre. That's Width, Depth, and Thickness of the glass. I believe the glass is 4mm thick, but I could be wrong.

I broke my glass lid and cannot for the life of me find a suitable replacement, so I will have to get one made. At over £50 plus carriage, I really need to get the dimensions spot-on.

I have a glass cover in my shed from an old caravan I had but no idea if it would be any good to you.
FREE IF ANY GOOD
I’m in Telford but will be moving about now that we are allowed

That's a very kind offer. But I would need to confirm it's the right one. I dont suppose you know the make and model of that oven, do you?

My original had like a hand-grip kind of cut-out in the middle of the front edge. Not a circular arc, but the cut-out angled in at about 45 degrees, then ran parallel with the front edge for 3 or 4 inches then returned back at 45 degrees to the front edge. Basically, an approx 4 inch long by an inch or more deep notch cut out of the front edge.
If yours looks anything like that, then a photo and some dimensions to the nearest millimetre (width, depth and thickness) would be great.

You need to get any hinge holes in the right position, too. Once glass is heat treated, it makes it impossible to drill holes afterwards.

How is that an Emergency??

Your sincere and ernest warning prompts me to imagine it might be borne out of bitter experience. I won't ask.
I bust my glass top because I forgot a gas burner was still lit, and virtually invisible. I put a temporary ply one on, and did the same again.
Drilling standard glass is difficult enough, even with a glass drill, but drilling toughened glass.... no.

Anyway... this glass lid is designed to glue-bond to the hinges with two-pack resin glue. So no drilling needed.

One man's emergency is another man's minor irritation.
I disingenuously threw in the word in the vain hope it might attract a higher number of readers, one of which might be able to help. It's not working... yet. But I'm a glass half full kind of guy.
Actually, having posted similar queries on a variety of motorhome forums and had quite a number of responses... none of which have provided what I asked for... I may soon have a real emergency of a different kind.

Cant you make a template from cardboard

 

[pappajohn]

Have you tried O'learys breakers.... Most things for most vans.

That's cheap if you find a genuine one it will probably be around £150

Yes, they only have a clear glass one, which is obviously not a Spinflo or Thetford original part, so I may as well get a black one custom-made myself... IF I CAN GET HOLD OF THE DIMENSIONS!

 

[wolfie2]

Have you thought of looking for your model of mh available for sale and if there is a local one going for a look/ measure? Or maybe search mh of similar age to find one with the same cooker?

I’m quite sure mine is not the same but I was thinking along the lines that it could be fashioned to fit.
I’m on a campsite in Lincs until Monday.
I’ll pull it out on Monday if I remember

Spinflo part number GL6060

Spinflo part number GL6060

I found the part number and a picture as well but they’re no longer made! At least we’re trying to be helpful though. I got quite excited until I realised there were no dimensions.

Thetford might have dimensions if the part number is quoted.

 

[Landy Andy]

I know you wish to have all the dimensions and get something made that is identical. But glass for old, wonky, individual windows is made using ply templates, and I think that is far better especially if it has things like cutouts, and radius’s

 

[Glennscoutz]

We have that model oven in our Compass Avantgarde. I have just measured the lid and the dimensions are:
Width: 484mm
Depth: 420mm
Thickness: 5mm
Hope this helps
