fearofweapons Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 After a bit of advice. Doing up the wife's SIII and the windscreen frame has been painted. Removing the paint has damaged the galv. Having had a quick look around it would seem you can no longer buy new wind screen frames. Or can someone prove me wrong please? So as a fall back looking to get it blasted and galvanised. Can anyone recommend a blasters and galvanisers in the Leeds / Bradford / West Yorkshire area please? regards, Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrover17H Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Sorry, no - but.... when you put the glass back in, if used as more than a summertime plaything, shove heated-screens in. Worth every penny on those dampish Autumn days when the demister won't clear the condensation, and in Feb... should be a legal requirement.

Peaklander Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) There was one on the Hessle road in Hull when I went past a little while ago now. Have a look on Street view for it. It's on the left as you go towards the dock, after the swing bridge and just before a roundabout. Edit: couldn't resist and did it for you https://www.wedge-galv.co.uk/plant-locator/humber-galvanizing-ltd/ but they have a plant nearer to you https://www.wedge-galv.co.uk/plant-locator/metaltreat-galvanizers/ Edited June 6, 2020 by Peaklander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landrover17H Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) In use outside the summer months; I'm sure others will vouch - you've got the things out anyway - it'd be daft not to add heat. Edited June 7, 2020 by Landrover17H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Two suppliers: Urgoglass via Devon 4x4. I've these. Not amazing quality, to be honest, the silver strips at top and bottom of the screens are visible after fitting, and I can see some bubbles in the laminated part. Plus the glass feels a little small for the frame, I used a tube of sealant around them to get them snug. And Ricky Evans. I've no experience with these, but am going to try them on the lightweight. They might be worse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrover17H Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Ah, to be fair, mine must be nearer 20 years old, and faultless. Others will have to comment on the latest offerings. Edited June 7, 2020 by Landrover17H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
