Windscreens for Ace and Aceca - supplier recommendations

[Glen Smytheman]

Hi all from New Zealand,

We are looking to get some spare windscreens into NZ (2x Aceca round corner and 1x Ace curved screen).  Cost looks to be about GBP500 each from Pilkington Classics.  I just wanted to check if anyone has sourced elsewhere that they would recommend.  Many thanks, Glen

Glen,
There was a time when some 'screens were available from Tyneside Glass in Gateshead. Maybe worth an enquiry ? You can only ask.
One rather suspects that your main cost will be transport ?

Barrie,

I just wanted to thank you for the response below - greatly appreciated and I will certainly check them out.  In terms of freight to NZ its better than you think.  I can get all three screens back to NZ from a company in Felixstowe that that imports used UK caravans to NZ for NZD500 which is about GBP210 or GBP70 per screen which is quite a good deal. 

They may be bringing a few other Aceca parts back to NZ as my AC Aceca BE811 arrived in NZ on Friday so I will collect it this week from the shipper - then the search for parts to get it back on the road will commence in earnest!  Thanks again, Glen

Glen,
That is a good deal - hope it works out. By the bye have you got your Aceca yet ? Could we see a photo' of your challenge ?
