Nice shape kit and good colour. The only problem I had with the Jas was finding a screen frame as the scuttle is a little narrower than most buggies, 41 1/4" iirc (possibly the same as a Manta Ray?), compared to the GP at 41 3/4" and the Manx at 42 1/4". I'm sure the makers or someone else on here could advise or it would be easy to narrow the bottom of an existing screen and have a glass cut, or make some spacers.

My screen was bought second hand from Buggypete on here.

Here's how they look before you take a drill to them! ;-)up

16 for a lwb, anything shorter will visibly lengthen an already long car.
