Hi All
I went fot the 16mm trim with a chrome strip insert



Alan

That's just the job,looks good and should seal the glass edges properly.

[DamianS3]

I think I would drop the chrome but something like that would be great.

Someone mentioned Blackpool there are some interesting clubs in Blackpool we should do a night there sometime..

its odd but my brain will not allow me to drive a car with wires in the screen... i cannot resist focussing on it - which is not very helpful!

[Alan Whitaker]

I had my transit for 6 monthes, RAC man saw me scraping frost off it and said "why dont you use the screen heater" Dooo

OK but we'd have to find somewhere safe to park the TVRs, then get the tram. Lytham perhaps? Or X-works in Kirkham? Or D & C Trim? and bus or taxi.
There may be one or two clubs that haven't barred me yet, but they are probably closed out of season.
But yes, I'm up for a Blackpool run in principle.

There's a nice place nearby in St Michaels? - Owld Nell's/ Guy's Restaurant. Top nosh

Sorry Mick, WAY off topic!

Anybody fancy a run out to meet our Blackpool contingent?

Hi All
Back to the topic, has anyone got a spare chim windscreen we can borrow, I have no windscreen in so if we can get one to try we would know if it fits.

price for 5 is £250 each +vat

price for 10 is £190 each + vat

unfortunately 3month delivery - sounds Chinese to me

[DamianS3]

Not a bad price though.. Especially with 10 takers.

Logistically: nightmare. Pray you don't get any 'issues' with what gets delivered. That three months will feel hours.

[magpies]

Didn't say they are Chinese. Just 3 months delivery. Ricky Evans Motorsport is British.

[Glassman]

oops, sorry. It's been a long day.

BTW, RE supplies, not manufactures. AFAIK, his stock comes from the Xinyi factory.

[magpies]

Didn't surprise me. Most things are.....all down the quality control. At least he is easy to contact if thee is a problem.

......effecting green living in global harmony.

That's enough to swing it for me .
I'll have six, as long as they are all manufactured at the most splendid Wuhu facility.








I don't really mean that, I'd prefer somewhere closer to home.

Finland perhaps.... Or Pilkingtons.

[Alan Whitaker]

Hi All
Will this be a brand new mould or do they have a mould ready to make them from.

Alan

[magpies]

No idea on that....all I can say is that someone I know has had one fitted a couple of years ago and although he is pleased I have not seen it.

[DamianS3]

These are probably alright I am curious about the mould mind.

So lond as we can reject if unsuitable I would be happy to go ahead.

Can pilkingtons do heated lols?

Just IMHO

Damian s3

[magpies]

Pilkington don't do heated. I have ordered one with green top tint. Will photo the install.

[magpies]

I stand corrected - obviously Pilkington DO heated screens 'cos that's what came today!!

now fitted along with new wipers and a pair of chrome mini washer jets.





I went for the plain black rubber trim



All I need to do now is wire the thing up!!

[Glassman]

Any more images of the install? Where are the wires now?

(BTW, that trim looks huge. How much fettling did you have to do to get that and the screen to sit in the recess?)
