Hi,
I'm in the UK and hence have a UK spec windscreen (have to have a UK spec one as it has to be European type approved to pass SVA inspection). There are two companies here that most people use, Autobrass and Brasscraft, my screen is made by the one of these that also supplies AC Cars (but I can't remeber which it is!!), both however make excellent screens and I haven't heard any complaints about either. I can dig you out their details if it helps.
With regard to the screen cracking - I've heard that another cause of this is the pillars being mounted incorrectly such that they stress the screen when the bolts are tightened down, to stop this happening you need to pack them such that they don't.
Regards

Stuart
