Default Do I need to brace a Percys Windsheild?

Do I need to run a windsheild brace with the Percys speedglass?

3/16 Drop In Model

Car will hopefully trap somewhere around 135 mph

The only thing I can find is Percys recommends a brace with their 1/8 inch stuff

The only thing that I've been told is that you need to run a row of fasteners on the bottom edge.

I dont think that its completely necessary but I put one in my car. We were only running the 1/8th but the windshield would bow in at the top of the track.

I was going to put one in with mine, but I'm dog-boxing the firewall a good bit as well, so while the cutting/refabbing is being done it just seems to make sense.

I've had no issues with 3/16" at 135 or 145 mph. Over 150 mph is when mine pushes inward.
I also screw my windows on.
