Viento windscreen suggestions...
Can anyone suggest somewhere that I can get hold of a windscreen for a viento or the parts to make one.
I've tried a search on it but the only name that comes up is autobrass - and a google on them suggests they aren't the greatest on
service, and luego have just quoted me £450 plus vat which is a little more than I had expected.
I'm happy to fabricate one in SS if necessary but would rather buy one pre made or the parts for it if relatively cheap.
Cheers
Dan

I gues that price they gave you is for the lot ie side supports/glass and glass surround??, it does seem a lot though.
I bought glass and u channel surround from luego for about £128 (2007) and made the side supports using 5mm ally, it really is easy to do, only extra
thing i had to buy was the sealing rubber which sandwiches the screen to the scuttle about £8 from kit car show!

Autobrass quoted me over £800 for a Viento screen.
You could measure up, and get Robin Hood to sell you the channelling and then make it yourself.
You will need a good bit more than the kits the sell, as the viento is a lot wider than even a Robin Hood.

Thanks for the responses guys, looks like I may have to look a little deeper into making one up.

I have to admit I have been thinking (for over a year now!) about taking a drive up to Robin Hood (GBS) in the Viento and get them to cut up and bend
the channelling for me.
I have an original Viento Screen, and this was made by Lolocost (for Luego).
Its not quite wide enough for me!
I want a full width screen, and a little higher as well.
Hence getting a custom one made up.
However, once they have the dimensions, they could churn out several quite easily.
