Yes I'm interested in a large Fairbourne screen. My L/H is cracked at lower outer edge. I measured mine & drivers side R/H is 4.15mm & L/H is 3.99mm

I hope that the replacement screens are to the later 4.9mm specification? My later spec screen has been fine but the early 4mm cracked at the lower outer radius where it enters the bodywork. As Bunny mentioned, the later spec screens are more difficult to install but seem to last well. Overall the Fairbourne screen is a good design, a shame it has been discontinued. I particularly like the extra width that protects the outer hand on the steering wheel from wind blast, something the Morgan copy is missing. Not so keen on a drizzle day when visibility is difficult and requires a "wiper hand".

Add me to the list as well. This is probably a nicer option for longer trips than the standard small dual screens.
I am also a US customer and I see from his page that he may want us to deal with Morgan Cars Mid-Altlantic.
Thanks

… to be put on the WhatsApp group with the screen maker that supplied Fairbourne. Makes sense to do a bulk set, but the carpenter who made them doesn’t have a website or anything so communicating via WhatsApp. Pricing TBD depending on volume. Apologies re-reading this I was not very clear - this is not for a new windscreen with all fittings, just the spare screens for existing Fairbourne customers. Fairbourne kindly gave me the contact of their carpenter who cut the screens and he has offered to do some more, price TBA and depending on quantity ordered. But he only uses WhatsApp for communication (no email etc) hence I set up a group so others can ask him about cutting new screens for them...

Paul, with apologies, I had misread your original post and thought you were talking about the normal small twin screens. Please take me off the list of those looking for a large screen replacement.

Update and good news: Kevin has started production! 1. Spare screen sets (with both L&R) available, using the last spec (5mm) of Lexan High Quality, regular height: £340 + VAT + postage per set 2. New screen sets as above but with centre post in black and instructions: £385 + VAT + postage per set 3. Individual screens available on request
Kevin will test the UK postage price with my order over the next few days and I will report back! For US, Europe and other non-UK destinations then will be a custom postage and likely customs costs...

Hi Craig - indeed. I think the full windscreens will be limited in number to Fairbourne’s old stock of central pillars. They are due “in stock” next week…

Thanks for the info Paul but at over £400 for a spare set I think I can do without them. Quite a lot more than the replacements I had from Fairbourne when the originals cracked.
