Congratulations,
If you are referring to the solid screens with no upper or back rim - they do look much better than the later canvas flap/plexi screens. Interesting to get the compound bends in the plexi. Got any pics?
I've had a couple of sets. My first BN2 came with the solid screens. Major problem to access the inner door latch releases though. Impossible with the hardtop I now have.
Finally settled on the full frame with sliding panel types.

Hi Dave Russell
Only had 3/4 of one perspex to make something of, however thanks to Blair Harber putting me in touch with John Wheatley who supplied a pair of old original persex panels I was able to mold some new ones, as the originals had deformed over time, still got the originals as they are needed to finish off all the fiddley bits, and had the original frames copied with new door pins cast
Yes access to the door latch isnt easy, although I dont have to ubdo a tab to get my hand in!
I have thought of installing a solenoid remote though not at this stage
Pics will be soon

I actually installed a wireless solenoid remote before going to the sliding screens. It worked ok, there was enough room to hide it in the door. Later removed it.
