Dino 246 windscreen

15 Apr 2009, 11:38am
Hi Everybody,

Can anyone out there help. I need a new windscreen for a JH Classics Dino 246 replica. Does anyone know if the windscreen is the same as that fitted to the real 246 Dino, or were they a specialy made up item. Looking at pictures they do look the same however they are to expensive just to guess that they are the same item. Also,does anyone know the best place to source one from. Any help would be very welcome.

Regards Mac.

I guess you must be sorted by now but YES the windscreen is a genuine Dino part. I had to replace mine through Autoglass. The one they produced has a tinted strip at the top (not a problem or very evident when you look at the car). They said not to break it again as they did not have any more, I'm sorry to say!
