is right. The Mantis windscreen is not flat. From the outside, it
has a slight convex curve both from bottom to top, and from side to
side.

. . . before reinstalling your windscreens, check with me, as I learned a lot
about what to look out for when re-installing. It's a large piece of
glass, and will crack very easily if things are not done just right.
That's what happened to my original one, requiring me to obtain a new one
several years ago.

the Mantis 2/2. I got end of last year a list from Pilkington with
the still existing windscreen moulds. All windscreens for the Mantis
2/2 are still in the factory, even the moulds for the Mantis XP still
exists. No idea concerning the price.
I know of 2 other Mantis for sale in UK.
On the other hand the Mantis windsceens are totally flat and not
curved so normally it should be not a big problem to produce one.
We are looking for a long time to find someone producing the rear
windscreens (heated) for the early GT (round edges) and the Mantula´s
without success, until today. We have now 12 people wants to order
such a windscreen, but Rory will not work on this item until 25
orders were complete and it would be very very expensive.
