Good news, the second batch of heated front windscreens is going ahead. I will now be taking names ready for deposits.

Once members who expressed interest in this, notice how things have progressed, plus the help with relays etc that number will soon shoot up I'm sure!!

May take a drive over to see you when fitted to ask you to work some magic on wiring it up.

Never know may even upgrade the headlights.( don't tell the misses)

Hopefully mate

I now have another name down from a friend on facebook so that's 10 windscreens so far

That can be arranged

for those interesting to see how well these screens work, here's a video demo video on youtube

Not of a 75 or ZT unfortunately but of a MG TF fitted with a heated windscreen produced by the same company who would be making ours

Goes from frosted to fully deiced in under 2 minutes

For those that are wondering how long the heated screens take to work I took 3 photos of mine this morning.

This was taken before I switched the car on and it was -1 here.

This one was taken 60 seconds later

And this was taken after 120 seconds.

This was easily cleared with the wipers and I was driving down the road. No scraping. Well worth the cost in my view.

Certainly will be keeping tabs on future developments.
