    My suggestion is to use Google translation to write them in Italian. A while back I wrote them multiple times in English with no response. As soon as I sent them an email in Italian, instant response!

    I have a surround but it would require a big box and by the time it is shipped from the US to UK and possibly re-chromed I think it would make more sense to get a new one from Brandoli.

    When I installed mine in 05702, I did it twice. First the typical way by starting the string pull in the bottom center. This is intended to set the forward edge. I tried that in mine and although it went smoothly I was picky about the outside gap I noticed at the top outside curve on the passenger's side. Since then I have seen this minor gap on Dinos in several concours and I believe it is a challenge area for The Dino as a type.

    I removed the windscreen and this time I started the pull at the top center then first went to the passenger's side top curve. This addresses the challenged area and I ended up with a much better result.
    Just one more thing done differently on a Dino!
