Just getting the scamp out for summer and the windscreen has got a hit from the sparks from the angle grinder, which seems to have pockmarked the glass, very badly. It is flat laminated glass, will 6 or 8 mm safety glass as used domestically do? If not anyone know where to source a new screen?

don't ever use safety glass for a windscreen, if it shatters at 70mph (assuming a scamp can even go that fast ) the small chips will fly into your eye's

most autoglass places will be able to give you the contact details for flat screen glass fitters, usually about £30-£50 depending on how big it is

Autoglass in Cambridge will certainly supply and fit a new screen for you and the people I used, Keen Screen Services @ http://www.bview.co.uk/listing/1325246/A1-KeenScreen-Services-in-MK44

You can Buy laminted glass from any glass company just give tham a template and they will cut and supply it.

Toughened glass shatters into 100s of little pieces, laminated cracks
