Glass etching.

Post by Allan mcl »

Hi all,

I am having my front screen replaced due to it being cracked. Just wondering does anybody know where I could get the reg scribed again as all the rest of the glass is original. Spoke to the supplier who no longer do this.

Thanks

There are some DIY kits around, just search on Google.

I did my own in the 80's.

:goodluck:
