Can anybody point me in the right direction to get hold of some alloy channel to construct the windscreen. The book doesn't say what size is required, although as you use 9mm ply as a former, it must be 9mm internal, (brain or what). The only size I have come across so far has outside dim's of 12mm x 12mm but this does seem short in the leg measurement. Would be interested in what others have used. I can't use a manufactured screen, as the car is a non standard width.

particularly helpful response, in that I have no idea, but a refreshingly well put question!!

Nicely done!

DO NOT QUOTE ME ON THIS!!!!!

but a word of warning. I've read (I think on here) that if a windscreen is not correctly "E" marked it will not pass SVA. As I recall the book doesn't say anything about getting e marked glass.

I would be very happy to be corrected thou.

dont do it untill you've been sva'd, less to do, if it isnt there it cant be tested, eg wipers demister etc

lolocost do the frame material and seals to go with it.

Yep lolocost do al the stuff.

Also mangogrooveworkshop on here makes screens etc.

I wouldnt fit it till after SVA so there less to think about. Wipers and de mister unless u have all this in already.

Chippy, where in west sussex are you, I have a lolocost windsreen surround and rubber seal strip not being used, the ally still needs to be bent.
I was going to fit a windscreen, but never got round to it, I bought a helmet instead, lol

B&Q sell Ali channel which is 13mm x 13mm with 10mm internal channel width.

I contacted Lolocost.

They said they couldn't deliver, it had to be collected.

Also when they bought a batch they cut it up to make it easier to store,
so they couldn't help me with my +4.

How silly is that?

Email me with the sizes and I will see what we have.....
