it was a bit of a shock luckily i seen it coming and covered my eyes, them wee bits of glass that can come off can be quite dangerous.

any windscreens about? my frame is a bit rusty so i could buy it with a frame, or would a bit of that clear perspex used for shed windows do?

Nice,

I have seen a few on eBay recently, worth asking somebody who is breaking their SJ if they still have the windscreen.

any breakers on here or should i ask an ebay breaker?

i frequently take the doors and windscreen off (and then its the best thing for driving fast) so the frame if it came with a windscreen would be better, less need to try and squeeze new glass into place.

Send a message to a breaker on ebay and see what they say. They can only say no, so you got nothing to loose

It's really really easy to put a new screen in the surround by the way.

I did mine (carefully) with a screwdriver, some string, and some washing up liquid :D
