#1 Pilkington glass screens

Post by Robbiee » Fri Nov 04, 2022 4:18 pm

Hi all
Does anyone know of the latest on Pilkington glass screens?
Also my roadster needs door glasses and I wondered if the BS kitemark versions are available ??

Production has moved to Finland but you can still get the glass with the correct 1962 logo:

Yes, they will put the requested logo's on any piece of glass and can even add a heated front screen or embedded radio antenna. Order from your local Pilkington dealer using the codes in the attached .pdf download from the Forum KB:

So, this must have changed, as few years back they only offered standard modern logo or 'vintage' looking logo.
However, the 'vintage' version was nowhere near what it looked like in the 60ies. For starters, it was painted, not sand blasted, then the text was compliant to modern standard production.

However, they had the option of selling unmarked glass for 'show and demonstration purposes' and this is the route I took.
