I bought mine on Victoria British, but our local Brit garage operator says that Pilkington operates across the U.S. and has properly marked Healey windshields. He said we have a Pilkington outlet here in Jacksonville, but I had already purchase mine and didn't pursue that source. Check the Web.
I installed a pilkington windshield and it fits correctly. There's some other windshields still around that are about a 1/2" too narrow and are very difficult to install! If your old windshield rubber seal fits good keep it!
I can't fault the windscreen I bought from Victoria British, but when reassembled (I'm talking an early 3000) the frame, the corner brackets I purchased with the left a corner gap. I fixed that by filling two of the tapped holes on one side of one bracket, redrilling and tapping the holes so the corner was drawn together. Puzzling!
Just compared prices. VB was $65 lower than Pilkington. VB also offers WS kit with all the rubber for $199. That seems to be the way to go. I need one for the BJ8 but not in any hurry so will wait on sale.
Well!!
I just had to have an NOS one for my BJ8.
So I found one at a small supplier no longer listed in the heart of NY years ago for $350.00---En it was a bugger to fit.--:highly_amused:
