How wide's your dash/scuttle? 'Standard' Manx/Sidewinder width is 42 1/4". Usual British buggy, GP etc. is 41 3/4".

What buggy have you got and what does the screen that you've bought measure across the inside/bottom?

46" is VERY wide for a Buggy, is it possibly an Apal? As R/R says, post some pics. Anything that wide will need to be custom made and possibly imported from this guy...http://bugshieldsbydino.com/

or through someone who deals with them (Dino makes 90% of Buggy screens sold in the worls these days, Flatlands, SS&P, Jas etc. all get their screen from them.

It is an Apal, a design originated in Belgium but made in the UK by a few people over the years, Cartune and GT Mouldings for two. I don't think anyone's moulding them at the moment though. I recon you're going to need some smaller front tyres there friend!!! ;-)up

AL your not going to believe this but I have a brand new screen and frame which is for an Apal...

I had one made for Jim on the old forum for his Apal and two pieces of glass were send from the glass guys in Scotland. So I had the guys who makes up my screens make up a second windscreen at the same time for a just in case moment like this....

The frame is anodised silver, the glass is bonded in place, and correctly BS / E-marked car glass, with proper ground edges.

Yours for £150 if you want it.
