Can anyone help please? We have a customer with a Karma Ferrari 246 Replica who is looking for a replacement windscreen. I understand that the vehicles were originally made in America and presume therefore that they use an American car windscreen.
Can anyone offer any help or advice on which screen was used please?
Thanks in advance.

Not a simple answer, I'm afraid.

Most comments suggest it's a Pinto screen, but that's not so easy to get here.

Mine has W774 printed on it, and it's rubber mounted, rather than a bonded unit (I understand there are both, but I've never seen a bonded Karma personally). Hope that helps.

Thank you. W774 points me in the right direction!

When I needed one for mine, I went to the UK manufacturer - Roger Wooley (hence "RW Karma". However, I don't know if he's still doing anything with them, since it was probably 7 years ago.

I've got an old UK number and address for him:

R.W. Kitcars Ltd,
Newport Lodge,
Northfields Close,
Melton Mowbray,
Leicestershire,
Telephone: 0644 61555.

Unfortunately, while my Karma is no more (someone drove into the back of it, seriously damaging it), my web site on it is still available: http://karma.tribbeck.com/

Oh - I forgot to mention that I also heard it was a Pinto windscreen.
