Well, I'm not fully understanding what you are asking. (Whether you want to know if someone here has one, or whereyou could get one etc.)
But, go to:
http://www.beachbuggy.com.au/shop/s1.html
Its a windscreen they're selling for their buggy which is lwb, but very similar to the manx. The buggy has a manx style dash, so this windscreen my
be compatible with yours. And its an Australian company too. Email them to ask whether its compatible, or ask for the dimensions to compare and see ur
self. wateva way, its all good.
They're email is info@beachbuggy.com.au, and the representative bloke of the company I met at klubfest was quite a friendly guy, so they should be
more than willing to help ya.
But its in QLD, and seeing your SA, its a bit of a distance.
I tried seaching over the internet for other aussie manufacturers, and this is the only one that came close.
Cheers,
Chris.

The last glass i got (2 years ago) was $70 fitted at O'BRIANS. They cut the glass and fitted it to the frame.Also got the safety standards triangle
thingo on the glass....main roads got me for not having the standards emblem on the windscreen glass and i had to replace the screen and get an
inspection done...:cussing:cussing:cussing

If all goes well this week and I get my buggy rego'd, the first thing I do (with $$!) is to replace my windscreen with a larger (higher) one. When
this will happen, who knows, hopefully next few months. I haven't investigated this yet as I'm still trying to get 'essentials' done.
But....if / when I do, I might have one for sale.....couldn't tell you the size as the car is currently sitting at my mechanics....when do you need
yours?

Is it a manx or manx clone? like a J&S
Do you want the frame or just the glass?
If it is a manx then the window Phantom has won't fit.
If its glass then most glass companies do them for a $120 fitted. Thats laminated and approved.
If its a frame then the company chris pointed out.
