Did a search and it seems these are impossible to get?

Can you get them anywhere?

Cheers James, I found that site using google and the part number off my cable, but I couldn't get to that page. Take it you send them your details and they get back to you? I've sent them my details anyway. Hope I can get one :)

From the sounds of it by TPS i dont think heritage use them. TPS use the same system as them as i asked if i could get a windscreen from classic parts through tps but they said they cant. Heritage might be able to though.

He didn't unfortunately. He sent me a price including postage of £43, half of which is the postage. Doesn't seem like I have a choice. I really need one.
