Windscreen
Windscreen
I have managed to at last locate a windscreen near to me. I was covered in dust and overspray, cleaning it off, I cant find any kite mark or any mark for that matter, is that usual??
Re: Windscreen
Regular screens have kite and/or legal certification compliance codes marked on them.
But A35 screen is unusual by being entirely flat with no curvature, which means yours may have been cut from a larger sheet. Is your screen toughened, laminated or something inferior

Re: Windscreen
Just jetwashed it, and found a very light kite mark on it, also says toughened, PHEW, I thought I had acquired a screen made from un-toughened glass, it also appears to have a 1989 date on it, ..... so its a repro?

Re: Windscreen
If it is a Triplex screen Nick you can date it from the position of the dots round the kitemark - I,m sure you knew that ?
