My solution has yet to occur but it will be a very close fit once done it only needs cutting and tigging back together the right width...I suppose it could even be riveted back together it is off a spartan kit car

well it finally arrived today ! a wide westy screen, so opened the box and with Trinas' assistance we tried it on the scuttle and quite pleased a small amount of reshaping on lower corners of the screen surround, and the lower section of the supports to bring them in a tad at the bottom , make a fillet up..... sorted not as much work as I thought so pleasantly surprised will be a couple of nights before I can get back out there and will add pics of before / after fitting

Glad that it's turned up now. I was thinking it had been a while yesterday as there is one for sale on LB but it's a caterham screen.
Can't wait for some pics.

What scuttle have you got? I'm sure it wasn't a Saturn one.

As I got a flyscreen for the GBS Zero GT (wide body), and it fitted very well on my scuttle, I'm pretty sure that their windscreen kit (available from Kit Spares) also fits the Haynes (the GBS zero GT's dimensions are very close to the Haynes', if not exactly the same)

Problem is the scuttle profile. I think, if I had to go the GBS route, I would order the glass separately to a glass manufacturer/supplier, and have it cut to the exact profile of my scuttle, and use the rest of the kit from GBS to fit it.

Please keep us informed of your progress on that matter, I'm very interested, as I'm also considering that (but need to save money first )

so to recap I have a Gillham / Saturn scuttle and I've used a wide westfield screen.
I have had to reshape the lower corners of the screen, and reshape the inside lower face of the uprights, as mentioned above I am happy with the fit along the scuttle in as much I will not need to make a fillet, just some T rubber seal, I will need to fill the inside front edge of the uprights though.
Next are some wipers, again waiting for a set of westy ones (2nd hand) then I can get the wheelboxes positioned / fitted, A '72 2 speed mgb motor and drive fits and works with the mx5 harness. and the demister vents to be fitted
