WTB TC alternator bracket and windshield

Looking for an alternator mounting bracket for a twincam special.
Also,
Looking for a windscreen, seems pilkington doesn’t have any in stock in the US currently.

Pilkington sold all their stock here as they closed their Classic Car division in the USA😕

They sold in a very short time when people heard about it!

There is a group buy for windscreens being cooked up currently on the mailing list.  That might be your best bet.

I saw one on Ebay today, cost is high but it seems supply is limited so its a question of how much you want/need one.

I'd be very careful about this windshield. I understand that people have had problems with the size of windshields made in China.

The seller also has an interesting idea about the years of Europa production.
