This thread is Good timing.
As I now have some spare time, and a warehouse, I've decided to make some use of the space and do a bit of "buying and selling".
This week I purchased the remaining stock (15) of the Cobra windscreens from PGI
(Protector Glass Industries), which has recently gone into liquidation.
As PGI was the probably the best brand, I suppose screens from now on might be lesser quality, or higher price...or both ?....so I'm thinking that it might be a good idea to have a spare screen ready for when the inevitable happens.
You can also use the screen in the case of an Insurance claim...or a "free screen on your insurance policy"....I'd just resell it to the screen fitter for the "right" price.
Just ideas !
These are the
highest quality laminated safety glass screens, with all of the correct E marks etc. for compliance requirements.
There is a considerable difference between the correct good quality glass, and many of the imported screens .
I've investigated a comparison price on Cobra screens, and O'Briens quoted me
$758-00 to fit a replacement screen in their shop....and I'm told by a Gold Coast installer, that the glass would be from a Chinese manufacturer.
I've also asked
Speedy Glass here at the coast the price to fit a new screen if I supplied the screen, and was quoted $160-00.
Also asked another screen fitter that we've used at my previous employment, and he said it "wouldn't be much"...and as he also owns a Cobra, advised it was very easy to "do it yourself".
In another comparison, I see that the "Glass only" on the Brisbane supplier in the above link is $479-00.
I'm selling these screens for
$325-00 each, plus shipping costs.
They are made to fit all Cobras ( Except Kirkham...which are slightly bigger)
I'd suggest that a bulk shipment of maybe 4 or 5 screens to the N.S.W. Cobra Club or the Vic Cobra Club, would mean that the cost to purchase, and the cost to ship could be improved .
This is not a big deal....just dipping my toe in the water , and thinking of other items that I would be looking at.
( Side pipes? Hard tops? etc. etc.) but for now I will just get these screens out a.s.a.p.
Just send me an e-mail if you are interested...
