Under hood oai screen

Hi all, I did a search for under hood w25 screen and found some cool info. But I cannot find any info on who could sell me one or any venders. Does anyone have any info on where I can find one?
Thank you,
Mike

Try Oldsparts.com

Ive never bought one or done business with them but they offer a lot of stuff including a hood screen.
Do you have a functional W25 Hood?

Contact Thornton Restorations.....they make the repro hood screens so you might as well buy from the manufacturer direct. The vendor mentioned above has a less-than-stellar reputation....avoid.

Thank you. I have a factory hood and I'm trying to make it functional. I will call them.

You're correct. The screen is not a listed part. However, about 10 years ago my ex brother-in-law talked them into selling him just a screen for his restoration--so they will do this in at least some cases.
