Windscreen

[dubzter]

Thinking about the future (when I have built the car and had it IVAd) and a windscreen, does anyone know if any caterham/westfield screens fit the haynes scuttle?

Did you get that one that was on ebay recently? That's the reason I asked, I've been watching one that I think finishes tonight or maybe I've missed it.

I got a Robin Hood screen which I am actually going to sink into the scuttle slightly to get over the slight difference in the profiles. Bit of a work it out as I go along but I have a plan......how hard can it be?

Hi Dubzter, no I joined the westy club really welcoming and all 7's welcome, spoke to a couple of guys on there who gave me the sizes and put a wanted ad but postage is the problem so.... bit the bullet and ordered a new polished frame one from westfield £240 all in shhh, but the price includes a shipping box so hopefully be ok, post and vat. if looking for one make sure you get a wide one.
once I get it I will take some trial fit pics etc so all can see whats required.
rpjg, would it not be easier to wrap the bottom of the screen with some thin plastic and make a fiberglass fillet onto the scuttle, this can then be feathered into the scuttle top profile front and back of the screen this then leaves the integrity of the scuttle as is also you have clear space underneath for demister vents/ ducts wiper mechanism

Nice one Gary, look forward to seeing how it pans out.

I'm pretty sure that Westfield also do a heated screen which eliminates the need for a heater. I'm sure to was about £500 though
