electrical mark · Jun 29th, 2012, 15:05

Hi Everyone this is my first post,

Have just bought a 122s 4-door for restoration and lookign for a new(ish) wing/ windscreen & lockset + ignition barrel as previous owner snapped the key in it then decided to drill it out for screwdriver starting only!!.
Would anyone know if fibreglass wings are produced in uk & are they any good?
Cheers,

Mark Hi, welcome to the forum!

You can try Honeybourne Mouldings at

http://www.honeybournemouldings.co.uk/pricelist.htm

in Warwickshire about 15 miles SW of Stratford-upon-Avon, and I think they need about three weeks to make from order.

I haven't used f/g wings before and imagine that they might need some prep prior to paint - some one will advise you I'm sure, or speak to HM direct. Obviously they wont rust but they may craze a bit.

Just reread your post and I have just removed a windscreen from my 122S 2-dr to which you are welcome but it does have a few (diamond ring) scratches on the inside which was one of my reason for changing it - the other was it leaked!!

Let me know if you are interested and we can meet up as you are relatively local.

Hi Carlsson,

Mark Hi,

It's here when you want it - no rush. The screen had the scratches on when I got the car - had a look for a ring in it but couldn't find one! Leamington will be fine at a time to suit.
