New screen
My efforts...
I took the old one off as it was a bit low and a couple of the bolt holes had cracked through.
New screen made from 5mm Lexan, heated with a hot air paint stripper and bent to shape, bolted to the scuttle.
I took the trim off my sidescreens and trimmed them to line up with the screen.
Top pic below is the old arrangment, the other two how it looks now.

Mmm Thats a very nice job Well Done.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

It does look neat -
Do you get a lot of movement at high speeds with that setup though? The "door" acrylic especially?

MOT - don't know yet as it's less than 3 years old! I think I should be OK as even a shortarse like me can look over the top, so it should
count as a wind deflector
Movement - it's a bit higher than my old screen (Mac#1). I went for a drive this morning including a quick blat on a dual carriageway at
"70 mph tops"  - the screen "gives" a little bit in the centre, but doesn't wobble. The sidescreens are the same ones
I had before (except for the trim) and they tend to lean in a bit but don't flap.
