****Windscreens****

The club has been in contact with a known screen supplier and we have managed to negotiate a bulk buy of screens. 

To secure orders we need a minimum of 5 per same tint type and minimum order of 10 screens. 

To kick things off for a first order we are proposing-

Bronze Tint with dark bronze sunstrip 
Green tint with blue sunstrip 

The price to club members 
Bronze tint £240.00
Green tint £228.00

Clear also available with bronze or blue sunstrip, depending on numbers, as this may be an option people want but as said a minimum of 5 for a production run.

To put into perspective,  Pilkington Glass are charging £400+vat for a screen, with a 12 week window from order at the moment. That always changes depending upon order numbers and batch runs etc.

We are also hoping to hold a small stock of screens to purchase as part of the growing OMOC parts catalogue. 

The screens when made will primarily be available for pickup from Northampton, or we can arrange with other committee members and area reps to hold for collection from them if possible. Essentially the less handling and transportation the better for such a fragile item and to keep the cost down for members with shipping from the supplier which as you can imagine would be expensive with the nature of the item.

The supplier has asked for the first order to be placed quite quickly. For manufacture, we need orders and 50% deposits or full payment in the next 10 days other wise it will be near Christmas for the next order to commence.

For interested parties put your name down with what you would like and how many. I can forward the club banking details for payment.

From the Facebook official omoc group thread we have the following orders. Very quick response to demand which is good. 

as soon payments come in for minimal x5 of each type I can get the order in.

Just to update, 

 

first order is now in and expected towards end of November for me to pickup. 
 

for all those paid up I’ll keep you posted.

Did the club order any spare screens @Paul Barrett? I had to wait 12 weeks for Auto Windscreens to make my new screen (bronze with bronze strip) and they broke it when trying to fit it 😬. They want me to wait another 12 weeks while they make another so I’m hoping the club has spares so I can point Auto Windscreens in the clubs direction.

Is the bronze screen still available @Paul Barrett?

Auto Windscreens have been trying to contact the club and although they received an initial reply with details of a person to contact, they’ve not had any response since. Who should the contact to secure the screen?

****update****
 

been told the screens are landing at the supplier on the 8th of January. My apologies for lack of an update but as with lots of goods lately supply chains are very delayed but I’ve been assured this is when they are landing. 

 

I’ll be in touch with all parties to arrange collection and logistics once I have them.

Sorry to hijack your thread Paul, but random question: what’s a genuine NOS GM Coupe front screen worth?

Hi Ian, to be honest I have no idea. A lot is what id say to right persons. 
I can out you in touch with a member that may be interested

Thanks Paul, but I’m not looking to sell it. I picked it up a few months ago to fit to my Cav Coupe. 
 

Unbelievably, I only paid £40 for it. It’s still in the GM packaging ‘sleeve’ too!

It’s worth more than 40 quid 😂

Hi Paul,

I know this is an old post but I don't suppose the club has another spare bronze screen tucked away somewhere?

Or anyone else, ideally located somewhere near the A1 anywhere between Newcastle and Sheffield as I know I'll have to collect.

Cheers.
