I got one off ebay that you fit yourself. It was a bad idea. :bang head:
I'm going to JBweld a dome plug into it instead.

There was someone who you send the cylinder to and they fit the window. Apparently that works.

Years ago I used a watch lens glass I bought from a supplier....you have to seal it with an O ring and sealer or you can buy a master in crappy condition and press it out..done that as well

the stock one looks like it may be plastic??

I used clear RTV. After a while it looks like it's leaking.

There was someone on the UK vmax sight vmaxchat.co.uk ? that had a hook up for the correct diameter watch crystals that worked perfectly. I never tried it but that is what they were saying

All you have to do is ask - take a gander here.

Thanks much Steve and Mike and everyone else. My master are looking like crap after just a few seasons. I'd like to P.C. the masters and switch housings soon.
How about clear epoxy to cement the glass in?

i redid the ones on my 85 v65 with black rtv. i used a toothpick to put a small amt right in the corner crevis. never had any issues afterwards.
