trouble with my windscreen :-(
Permalink  

Hi all,
  Im having a real problem with my chopped roof zephyr!
loads of people have said its easy to get/do a windscreen on a cut down..... well i wish i knew who.
the latest `brainy` suggestion was  `if you dont have a windscreen, then you dont need washers and wipers`   great!
  anyways, does anyone know of anyone who can help? please.... or it`s not going to the Nats!  :(   cheers x

Probably a silly suggestion this but how about trying some company that cuts glass for Speedboats and such? Might be worth a go or do they use toughened plastic ? confuse

Mandi, don't forget to let the UKK guys know if you're bringing it to the swapmeet. I believe Kookie is talking about going.
