Screen stays, where from

A simple one, but I have a caterham screen I keep meaning to get round to fitting, and I need some stays to fit it.

I was going to buy some from the myriad of suppliers that used to make them, as I really have too much to do to make them myself at the mo.

Unfortunately, since I last bought anything locost related most of the suppliers have gone bust it seems or otherwise disappeared!

Any supplier suggestions for stainless steel or ally screen stays???

Thanks, I know I could do that, but with the amount of things I "could", be doing at the moment, I need to pay for some of them (the simpler ones) so I can make the more complex ones, like the gearshift mech for the twin engines in the grasser, plus the rad mounts, dry sump tank clamps etc etc.............arghhhhh

just want to get the caterham screen on so on the odd warm afternoon somebody in the house can make use of the little car to make the tax worth paying for!!

Fair enough.

Be prepared to fit some kind of demister. Behind that big flat screen you get wierd pressures developing which make it mist up at the most unexpected times!!! It's quite bizarre....
