Pat,

I could do with some clear stuff if you find somewhere to get it from!

Anyway, can get a sheet of 3mm Lexan for £85.50 - 2050 x 1250.
That's enough for 4 big aeroscreens each just over 30cm high and just over 2m long.
At a price of £21.38 per screen - anyone else want one?
Group buy thing?

Er, not really!

I only want to add a small clear bit to the top of my existing aeroscreen to stop a bit of buffeting.

i don't specificly know that they do do lexan, but my the secretary at my mums school has a daughter in law that works there, bit convoluted i know, but it was suggested they might have some.

if you mean where is pinder plastics, down towards dewsbury, to mini roundabouts, turn left over the bridge over the Calder, then they're on the right.
The frontage is now applied visibility, but they're tucked in there somewhere

If you are looking to use polycarbonate (Lexan/ Macrylon-trade names) it is worth specifying a scratch resistant version (this is available)

Try companies such as GFGB plastics (Oxford way i think) or Oadby Plastics. Both companies are very popular in the supply of engineering plastics.
Sorry I have not got their contact details to hand but have used them both successfully in the past.
