I had a non-TVR screen fitted to the Chimaera earlier this year - fits like a glove. Which is more than I can say for the TVR Branded one before it!
You were lucky I had 3 screens from Multipart and they weren't even close to the right size or shapeEdited by eff eff on Friday 26th October 13:05

As in the one coming out of the car, or new?
(the screen I fitted was TVR branded).
The one coming out of the car was a TVR Branded one that randomly decided to crack itself while parked in the garage. That was also a replacement of what might have been the original that was really rather bodged in as the garage who replaced it showed me.(the screen I fitted was TVR branded).
The new unbranded one fits perfectly.
From all these (and other0 posts am getting the suspicion that the screens are slightly different over the years, or that there are batches of TVR branded screen made to the wrong spec. Do the screens have other marking in addition to the TVR brand to help identify them? Also, is there 100% confidence that the screen surround has remained constant for the production of Griffiths and Chimaeras?

There were four different moulds i know of for the front nose section and i've seen at least 2 or 3 variations at the bulkhead, so i would not be suprised if there is some variations around the screen area.eff eff said:

TVR had a stockpile of rejects that had been held at the factory as the screen suppliers didn't accept returns. I imagine those had been taken from the factory when it closed and went into stock at Multipart rather than being scrapped.Gassing Station | General TVR Stuff & Gossip | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
