Even better if you have the originals for templates.
Failing that,many of the traders listed in the links section can supply pre-cut kits and even templates if required.

Too high and I worry about it being the same thickness and shape.

I hear you on the cost,I tend to forget I buy my glass at net trade prices.(A perk of being in the 'biz) Re: The correct shape,I actually templated my windshields from a set a friend bought from a large vendor and the fit was awful,so no guarantees there either i'm afraid. (I can't remember who it was they came from though.)
