You can get perspex ones from the Leiter Motor Company, the phone number is 01747 850333, if none of the usuals (Adrian Venn, David Geralds etc) have them.

No.
All vixen and M rear screens are the same. Early Vixens had sundym non heated, these are the rarest. heated ones from the M the most common. Expect to pay a premium for a non heated original.

There was talk of Uroglass in Bromsgrove doing a fine wire heated rear after the heated fronts were such a success.

we had this chat before and funnily enough I was talking to someone at le mans about it as well and the consesus was that they are different. as per the pic below.

The M seems longer and wider than the vixen/tuscan.

How much are these? Might be in the market for a glass screen soon.

Sincere thanks for searching for a string instead of the more common alternative.

BTW, why do I remember there being a mention, of the M style being of green tint, and the older versions clear? Mostly figment?

How are you finding these? Is it far enough along to know if they are more haze resistant? Is the scratch resistance greatly improved? What's the weight savings over glass and what thicknesses are available?
