Anyone ever tried a VW Beetle flat screen up against an Indy scuttle?

I want a windscreen for mine and saw this

Thanks Sebastian I look forward to hearing from you

At this rate we should investgate the cost of making a batch.

How many people would be interested ?

Mark

Sorry guys, but the beetle's windscreen (an early flat type) is over a metre wide. Just about the same width as the bottom of the MK scuttle is at its widest point. Toughened glass too, so un cuttable.....

Ayone made their own screen for an indy? I know there are people out there with the lolocost screen, but do they still make them?

Thanks for giving it a go Seb at least we know

havent mk(sportscars) started doing a screen for the indy? sure i've seen it on the new site.

Some where some how mmmmmm

tom, I think that is the aeroscreen you have seen - I have asked MK about this and I was told that it was impossible for MK to find anyone to make windscreens for them.

As Mango says:

Some where some how mmmmmm

sebastiaan: are you saying that the beetle screen is big enough if it was laminated and could be cut down?

Cheers Mark

This should fit

Hi Tom,

You are spot on with your observation - I stand (or sit!) corrected.

However it was only a couple of weeks ago that I was told by MK that they couldn't do it so perhaps Snoopy could shed some light on this?

Cheers

Mark

just out of interest, who at the langold workshop does snoopy represent?
does anyone know?
does snoopy know?

tom

I think I'll leave that one to Snoopy him self
