Try JF Bodman & son in Donny. Just off wheatly hall road. They are the best glass shop in town and should be able to sort you out. Don't know about
cost though!

Rob Lane on the locost list once told me to try
National Windscreens
I emailed from their site, and was told that i should talk to one of their depot who could cut and price a screen for me.

Went into my local RAC Auto Windscreens depot yesterday. They said if I had a template and it was for flat kite marked laminated glass they would
charge £45. Just to give a rough idea of prices. I'm sure you can get it cheaper than this.

A windscreen is one of those clever things that keeps flies, bees and birds away from your face at speeds above 20mph. And I is most definitly having
one.

Hey Guys
Why not make the screen easily detachable (like mine)so you can swop between flyscreen and full screen for track days etc...
There's room for everyone's interpretations you know!

People. We can see clearly now, the pain has gone!
The new Windscreen is fitted and working.
Quotes for the screen include £55+vat from RAC/Autowindscreens, local scrapyard for a Panda screen, 25+vat.
And finally, with thanks to locodude, JF Bodman in Doncaster, wait for it........
£16.52 + vat
BARGAIN
It must be noted that this isn't kite marked, but we've passed SVA so there!!

Hey up thisen
It's J F Bodman and son. Just off wheatley hall road in doncaster. They're in yellow pages. I used to supply them in another life when I was in the
glazing trade. Just thought they would be handy for our two Donny lads.

Thanks Mate,
