I'm looking for the old style ali frame windscreen for my buggy. I think they measure 41" across.
Anyone have one please: Same as in the photo.

I was going to get that profile made,but it wasn't worth it!! And now it even more expensive to get set up to make screens :-\
You may be better off getting a Manx type screen narrowed and getting the glass trimmed down to fit.
Dave fisher has 2 in his shop 👍

Strange .... I seen them in his shop in Friday . But mabe they are sold. Next time I go in I will have a look
I spoke to Dave today, said he doesn't have one like i want. Maybe he has the manx type but if you're in there best check!

Maybe one will turn up at some point but being near the norfolk broads i have 5 or 6 boat window makers on the door step really and messaged some today. Got 2 replies back saying they can make me one to my spec so let's see what price they come back with

I may have to yet David or just fit the sidewinder front and be done with it! I may have 2 boat yards local that can make one so i'll let you know
if you can get a marine place to bend up a screen frame that is worth noting and adding to suppliers as the need does come up occasionally
I'm still waiting for the screen that Kingfisher promised to get me from the US in 1997! ;D ;D ;D

You could try Kellet Engineering in Halifax. They did the screens for Volksrods way back when.
I haven't checked which aluminium profiles they currently work with.
That is useful knowledge Steve and good to pass on ;-)up
