Post by: shardian on August 06, 2007, 02:54:49 pm: Yep, that is the going rate for them. There are also several vendors on ebay that stock them along with other cocktail parts. There was a set going cheap about 2 weeks ago and I forgot to put in my bid on the last day...they went for ~$8. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Midway cocktail clips are made to fit a 1" wood top with a piece of 1/4" glass. If that is what you have, then yes they will fit.

Are these midway clips or no? You say 1" top, do you mean 1" total thickness including glass, or 1" wooden top with 1/4" glass. I'm all confused now. :dizzy:

Sealslayer is saying he has a 3/4" wooden top and 1/4" glass.

Post by: custard80 on August 10, 2007, 05:20:16 am: I am also after exactly same and like sealslayer i am based in the uk.

Does anyone have anymore or know of a good supplier that can ship to the uk?

My cabinet is nearing the end and the glass is the last thing to do. sealslayer, how much did you pay for the glass and did you get it tinted? I am based in the south east and want an idea of how much the glass will cost.

Cheers all.

Post by: sealslayer on August 10, 2007, 05:05:00 pm: My glass cost me £63.00, tinted, polished and toughened, although mines not the standard square shape.
I have very big curves at each end where the player sits that had to be cut from my template so It may be cheaper for you.
I used a small local glass shop, took over a week but it looks great.
