Colin Your timing is spot on. I received the tinted glass lid today and the same for the front. With the lid on it looks brilliant, and I held up the piece of glass for the front of the amp, and it all looks better than expected! I know the lid I will fix on with magnets, as for the front I'm not sure, being 6mm glass it is quite heavy, but I'll figure it out. I tried the amp with me Glenn Croft pre amp tonight. Well it gives a totally different musical presentation , very controlled more three-dimensional and the base is a lot tighter taking away the boom that I was struggling with
Here are a couple of up to date shots of my 40 W Wonfor Amp. I have put bronzed glass on the front and top. The top piece of glass is just sitting on rubber feet, but I have struggled for a long time as to know how to fit the front piece of glass, so I have used self adhesive velcro for now, a bit crude I know. The front piece of glass can't be a permanent fixture as I need to be able to take it off if I wan't to get the boards out. As I'm a bit of a tweaker I will want the boards out in the future, any ideas would be welcome.
Now I have this complete, although there are a few little mods I want to make, I will get started on Colin's DIY amps.

Can't budge you just called my lash up wet string, that took me about 20 minutes of work
The glass top is brilliant.
How much additional pressure did that put on you to get the wiring perfect...?
The wiring is good but there are some little bits which need improvement
