hi Phil, fwiw I ve used a widebody westfield screen pillars and mirrors , not through iva myself but on the basis that westy's go through it with them then they should be fine. the lower screen edges needed fettling and the lower part of the stanchions too.
I think there would need to be some sort of standardisation on the scuttles as they are slightly different (I used Saturn / gillham).
I did put a windscreen thread up, with how I did it
good luck

that would be a good cost effective way of dealing with the scuttle variation as once you have the "fillet" moulds these could be produced as required, the westfield pillars are often available quite reasonably priced if you were after a set to experiment with. These have the benefit of having mirrors attached although the early ones don't have the mirror boss.
I reckon it would have to be flexible / adaptable as we are speaking of quite a small market for 7 esque cars and then take off the ones who prefer the aero approach it would be very low volume , I think ...... although there is no one filling the gap at present.
The next thing to source are small wiper arms and blades, wiper motors/drive old mini or mgb will fit the bill with the addition of an earth the mgb one plugs straight into an mx5 loom connector thus giving all std operations
