Hi I'm running a chopped Morris pick up that is in need of a replacement windscreen - the old one is complete but badly scratched and pitted - having trouble finding anyone willing/able to make me a new one - Left it with Pilkingtons for 10 weeks as they said they could then retracted saying no longer had the tooling.

I did see some very early posts on here from a member 530dTPhil saying he had done some- is he still a member need to get sorted urgently as car is just about ready after some major bodywork and respray

Would want to get two made up so a spare always available. Should be cut from a standard Minor screen

Any help gratefully received!

There is your answer.
Go along to a small glass cutting shop and ask them if they will cut down a screen for you. They won't accept responsibility if it doesn't go as hoped, but if they are skilled enough should be able to do it.

OP: where are you (or is the car) based?

Whereabouts in Kent? You may not have to travel if I know someone near you.

So following on from my post - I tracked a company down who were more than happy to sort me out a chopped windscreen. Mobile Service guys called Colin and runs Allglass Mobile service based out of Belvedere in Kent Cut me two windscreens (so I got a spare!) - he's done quite a few in the past and does a lot of Yankee and classic stuff. Worth keeping his details!!
