just check dimensions as the D-type and the J-types are different height, width and shape Robin

I too missed it, and I'm desperate! ![](images/icon_smile_blackeye.gif)
Maybe somebody could start making these new if there is enough demand! (He hints). Is the extruded channel the same for the other cars such as N-types etc?
I do have a frame but it's in need of a LOT of repairs; having several cracks in it and a lot of spurious extra holes. It's very fragile

Mark you will very likely find that an original frame will not fit on to a replacement or rebuilt body in the correct position. The work involved or compromise in position to get one to fit makes the extra expense of a new frame made to fit your car worthwhile. The correct fit of the frame is such an important item in a J rebuld and in my opinion it s worth going the extra mile to get it right. Chris Glover at Brasscraft in Farnham can make a frame to fit your car - he does an excellent job. The very first J frame he ever made was the one for my old J3 in 1979. He has made many since.

Just to join in the fun, I have a spare frame, same section as a P type screen, that was modified to fit my C type. It is 34 3/4" wide, 13" high - about 1" taller than a P type, but easily reduced. In good nick - does not need replating. A pair of brackets too, but I think they are Morris 8. May be some use to someone ! |

Terry, very many thanks for the headsup on Chris Glover at Brasscraft.
I seem to recall looking at that website a long time ago and decided they were "just" Cobra specialists that probably wouldn't be able to help and didn't pursue the matter! ![](images/icon_smile_blush.gif)
I will get in touch with them and find out more ![](images/icon_smile_cool.gif)

Also Wessex Windscreens in Westbury... I think that it their name...
Worth a visit just for their steam engine!
They have not done work for me yet but I have them in mind...
Cheers

Thank you too Peter!
I've just been chatting with Chris Glover at Brasscraft since making my last post here; what a very approachable and helpful man he is!
I will also investigate Wessex Windscreens. I think it's always a good idea to gather as many opinions and options as possible!
EDIT: just took a look; do you mean Wessex Workshops Ltd?

I have also been in touch with Brasscraft. They are to make me an early windscreen with the vacuum fittings.I was informed that it is essential to make a template of the screen in ply or something similar so that the hinges will work effectively. They were extremely helpful, I was advised to wait until my J2 has its main frame fitted with the brackets before making the template.![](images/icon_smile_cool.gif)

Well done Chris.
Perhaps you could let us all know how much it will cost. Wessex once quoted me a king's ransom !
