I've got one to your welcome to have, but it will be a few weeks before I'm back up the coast

Doubt I'll be owning anymore flat screen bugs

They aren't actually flat glass Chris..
and they only go in one way....
there is a slight bulge in them...


there would be heaps of them about....
and they aren't worth much....

I bought a laminated screen for about $100 a few years ago
and put it in myself...

the original safety glass ones wouldn't be worth much...

cheers

The early windscreens up until the 1968 were flat glass..

Any 68 on 12 volt windscreen will fit, long as its not an Lbug one.

Last mobile one I had fitted was 12 years ago and cost me $140 fitted back then

It was $185 for an Lbug one fitted after my return trip from valla in 2006 :rolleyes:
but they are also 42% larger and curved
