does anyone have some screens to fit the Lone Star Rolls Royce Silver Cloud
I need 5 in total as they are a loose fit and are often missing

I wish you lots of luck Reg, but fear it may take some time to get some as they may have to come from original models. I do not know of any modern replacements, not even from Steve Flowers parts company.

I could get away with 2 and am happy to get some cheap beaters but I'm not optimistic :cry:

Have you considered making them? I've never tried it myself but I believe it should be possible by heating certain types of clear plastic gently with a hairdryer or over a cooker ring. I seem to remember reading a 'how to' on it in an old Model Bus Federation magazine.

I had considered that but there's a couple of issues
1 what plastic to use
2 they are located by a small tab locking into holes in the body and inherently fragile
3 and most relevant I am as dexterous as a one armed arthritic gorilla :lol:
