Hi, I'm not in the Brisbane area but there's another post below yours on the 8th of April "Optiview Non Reflective Pinball Glass". that maybe helpful in get quotes for the right glass from any of the glazing businesses in your area.
 I hope this helps.

Cheers for the replys Guys,

Bit of a noob question but Im guessing toughened the only way to go?

Will they cut to size and get it treated Im guessing?

Logan Glass are good, and the one ANT has reccommended is also good. You can get std body glass for around $25 to $30 a sheet depending on quantity, with widebody for apx $10 to $15 more. Make sure you dont under measure the glass. Slightly too big will fit, but too small and she falls in on the playfield.

Also make sure you let them know what it's for and tell them you don't want sharp edges. A flat polished edge is the way to go. You don't want clean cut edges and once the glass has been tuffened it's to late so let them know straight up.

Logan Glass on Parramatta Road are great.  They have their own temper and glass cutting machine*, so most get their glass from these guys.

*machine as big as a house.

toughened - it smashes to little pieces just like car windows (side windows).

I got a quote of $165 for a glass from O'briens in Toowoomba which has to come from Brisbane anyway. A bit over the top I thought so I haven't gone ahead with them anyway.
