Hello All,

Does any one know who does a windscreen to fit an Indy. (Would rather not pay W*stf**ld prices!!)

Apparently a caterham screen will fit, i almost bought a heated one for £35 including all fittings, but i never heard back from the bloke. Have a look at www.blatchat.com

Donut bought a caterham screen for his indy before he sold it,evidently it didnt fit.
I'm not sure if there are different sizes though,i'm looking for one myself so keep us posted mark.

Looks the same as J30FOS's one

Cheers Shortie, how you getting on?

We have fitted the Dark Mac1 version - a little too high for our liking so we shortened it by 2". Fits reasonably well... nice guys too! Very helpful and informative - it's nice when competing manufacturers can respect each others products for what they are... good or bad. Mac1 never said one derogatory remark against MK which was very civil!

I fitted a Lolocost/RH screen, it is about 40mm too wide, but does look OK. I ended up getting a new bit of glass and doing a cut and shut on the surround to get it just right. You can get glass cut for about £50 it's the frame that's the problem. Saw one at Stafford and was £130 which seemed like a lot of £££ for what it is.

Hello again. Thanks for all the posts so far. I am looking for a windscreen, not an areoscreen. Dont care about wipers/de-misters. I've spoken to Robin Hood, but they say their screen is too wide.

Any other thoughts?

If you're looking for a Windscreen then afterwards an SVA. IIRC you will need wipers and a form of demisting as a minimum requirement. That's why most go for Aeroscreens

Mac#1 fitted a customer car with screen and hood, if my memory isn't playing tricks, give them a ring on 0114 2619633.

u2u steve m,he sent a template to a company that made him a screen for his locost.

It looks a treat and was around the same money as the robin hood one delivered.
