Please does anyone know where I can get a front windscreen?
Took my 480 out for the first time in 12 months and yes, you guessed it, a rock the size of a shot glass got me on the motorway :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:
Thanks

Any local windscreen specialist will be able to track one down for you - don't bother with the national outfits. I've had two fitted in recent years (different cars) at around £200 all in. Local fitters will take care and do a good job.

There is a guy on the eBay site who sells new screens for £150, but you have to fit it yourself!! :wall:

Agreed, supply still seems to be around and I had one fitted a few weeks ago. It was through the insurance so I went with their recommended supplier National Windscreens.

I've had two fitted in 480 by 'national outfits' , no problems, done via the insurance
and even the SS1 was fitted by some of the 'big outfits', (although woul dhave to wait eight weeks if i wanted a brown tinted vs clear, but as they only ever built 1400 , that seemed 'fair' ?) I guess it depends on the guys (or gals) doing the job,

£75 excess seemed OK to me :-)

if you get the chance ask them to remove it one day so you can make sure the frame is nice and rust free before fitting the new one....
