Where to buy small circular glass disks.

[David CambridgeParticipant @davidcambridge45658]

I’d like to make a small fuel tank for my model engine – it will be very small and I’ll probably use 1 or 2 inches of copper pipe with a sight glass at one end. The trouble is, I’ve no idea where I can get a circular piece of glass just 2 or 3 cm in diameter. Does anybody have any ideas ?

any glass merchant will cut you 1 or 2

David, I use watch glasses for glazing the cab windows on my 16mm scale locos, have a look at this website:

I use these people and they are good to deal with.

Regards,

John.

I have some 22mm dia ready cut but only 0.17mm thick if they any use to you?

[David CambridgeParticipant @davidcambridge45658]

Marvellous – thanks all. The key was knowing to use the search term ‘Watch glass’.

A special thanks to Ian – but unfortunately 0.17mm is a bit too thin, but no the less thank you.
