what is nice is that it is flat glass.... so no distortion, does not scratch and easy to clean How is it at deflecting the wind blast compared to the full screen that is offered? Assuming you had 2 of these nice glass screens. cannot compare to the full screen. But definitely is out of my face as I look straight through it. No passenger screen.... usually she is in her Plus 8

Thanks for the responses all, I have emailed Morgan, and a couple of dealers regarding the parts, but nothing back yet.
The roll hoop in a biggy for me as there's an 11 year old thats itching to get in, and until this is fixed its a no go.
I have spoken with an engineering company that could make one from a pattern, or the other side.
The fly screens too, I may even attempt to cut my own, as I have the base as a template. (although I do have one Brooklands)
So the NOS kit is to be removed, so interested parties get in touch, I do want an outdoor cover, a pair of twin eared spinners, a cowl badge, and the above, we could have a deal!

If you don't get a timely response from MMC, you could always try Safety Devices in Mildenhall, makers of roll cages and the like and see if they could knock up a new one for you.

I wouldn't put too much faith in the roll hoops making much difference to your survival chances in the event of the car rolling over. Like most of the M3W chassis they have no triangulation and would probably fold over.

Taking this idea further , I wonder if they could knock up a new chassis ? Conceptually the three wheeler chassis is a fancy roll cage with body panels riveted on , and some accurately placed mounting points. Probably not as strong as a roll cage , but thats another story. I know I am simplifying somewhat , but ....

Someone who survived a rollover posted pictures of it after. I can't seem to find it though. I seem to remember at least two survived rollovers now that I think about it.

Evening all,
Allon White came to the rescue, parts now ordered, roll hoop(s) came in less than expected, less than bespoke manufacturing.

LOL - I was thinking along similar lines: but instead of a chassis I was thinking of plugin roll bar with extensions... 1. Frame for a hood? 2. Roll bar with built in luggage rack
