Have you tried ordering one from BWE?

A Locost one should be similar so how about one of these?

Robin Hood Locost Spares



How about making one or getting one made?

have a look at this USA Locost Builders

The main thing is to anneal the channel befor trying to bend it.

I meant that if you could try making one as in the Locost build book by Ron Champion. The USA Locost builders site as had some details on making a windscreen frame.


For example

You would then need some mounts they are often available on ebay


The one for a Tiger Avon should be similar to a Locost one they are quite cheap for the frame. You would also need the bottom rubber.

They also do a heated one

You could buy a Caterham one but they are very expensive compared with other manufacturers
