Try these guys, they did the screens for my old taz racer (you'll need the silicone coated stuff for a windscreen)

The trade name for the stuff you need is Lexan Marguard.

I have a plastics place in Reading that does smaller sheets, but no idea if they would courier them. I paid £75 inc vat for a screen sized piece

Let me know the price, as may be interested, esp as mine is currently cracked.

Is that the ordinary Marguard or the silicone coated non scratch stuff?

Marguard is the scratch resistant coating, Lexan the polycarbonate. So Lexan Marguard is marguard coated polycarbonate. (I feel like I am making this more confusing rather than less!!)

What is the benefit of the Lexan screen Mickey?

Is it for safety?
