UPDATE:
Spoke to tony, seems a good honest guy on the phone.
he doesn't have a former just yet but her is looking to get on in the next few weeks, if not by early next year so he can do the contours of the rear screen.
He did say it may not actually be any point replacing the rear screen or even the rear quarter windows due to the sneaky japs using thin glass in the rear of their cars !
He has offered to cut out a rear screen roughly the same size and weigh it so we can compare and discuss if we want to go ahead with it.
He did the same for Jason Plato's MG and it was found that the glass on the MG was so thin that 4mm Poly carb was heavier!
So some one needs to get a rear screen and rear quaters out so we can weigh it
i'll be doing the fronts still for sure as the weight of them is massive!
He is set in his prices as he has had a fair few people mess him about in the past and as such has lost money on producing kits that didnt sell etc.
he's also happy doing one offs for 5ths and 3rds!
he's still confident about the circa £200 for a full kit but could really do with the glass there so he can give an exact pricing!

Well he's not far from me so I could take my car there for him to measure up.
