Kent ClearView Screens

FISHTIGUA · 03-15-2010, 10:38 PM

Does anyone have a contact for spare parts for these old spinner type Kent ClearViews?

I've Googled them but no joy. About 15 years ago we managed to get some in Spain for a classic project but no more left.

Any info?

Hi,

Fish- I found this: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-262642855.htm

Which led me to find this:http://www.b-hepworth.com/

If you want to know more about the one in NZ let me know by PM, only people in NZ can make trades/contact with anyone on this site. My account is disabled when I am not using an NZ IP Addy to access it.

I do however have others at least one of whom you have met in San Remo who can use the system for me.

By the way, who is the other Kiwi in San Remo?????

Hi,

He was my 2nd Engineer at the time you had a wee accident on the way back to Antibes.

Oh yeah

That was a head through the windscreen job, I've done better ones since then.

Rental cars and I don't get along. That summer the crew wrote-off 4 cars, the insurance premiums went up a tad after that season.

PS. I've just seen a perfect symmetry to this thread.

Me stuffing my head into the windscreen and making a nice round hole and the Kent ClearView, both about the same size.

Well done K1W1.

Hi,

If you hailed from Kent maybe you could claim a patent infringement.

I am sure once ya bonce was thru the windscreen the view was a lot better than before it went thru, that is of course unless the Nasty Azzuro that caused the aforesaid accident hadn't affected your vision
