Consloe Windscreens

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get perspex windscreens made up?

We're building a small workboat with an aluminium console and I want something to fit on top of it. We could make the console to suit a screen

Cheers

Be aware - it's probably not Perspex you want for the screen - it will kill itself with the UV in a season or so......

If I can remember what it was I was going to use for my old boat I'll repost - the notes are back in the boat file and I'm on tour with work......

I might be needing some advice as I'll be bending my screen in the next week or so. Got some flat 316 and some polishing mops from work to make a trim piece to go around the bottom too.

Not that simple I'm afraid I've got a Winsor Ocean Console so will have to make some sort of template up. I've got a lovely radiant wall heater that I'm gonna rig up and a hot air gun for the detail stuff.

Thanks all the same.
