Measurethe width of the bonnet where it fits, there are/were some on e bay but buggypete may have some.  Once you have the width you can approach buggy suppliers.

I did indeed, but had to mount it backwards because of the lip in the bonnet.

You have to loosen the screws off on the side of the screen to get arm around the sides of the bonnet, but all good.

I have an original mk3 windscreen I will need to look into getting some made. The profile is definately different to Manx style and GP style

hi all i fitted a  flatlans manx /us screen to mine the right way round , it was a right pain in the arse but can be done ,the legs are  bent perpindicular to each other and the ff ones taper out at the bottom following the edge line of the original screen   and so does the groove in the bonnet , to get over that i put a lorry strap around the base of the screen  {with glass still in } and then used a bottle jack and a bit of scaffold tube to bend them back out to the correct angle pretty crude and nerve rackin to do to a new screen ,but got it done then just had to remove the bottom 6 inhes or so of hood rail were it meets the bonnet lip  with the grinder  and a round file to radius the end of the cut  to avoid any cracking from hoods/people pullin it back simples lol
