Wind deflector ?

No plans to run a soft top and the toneau cover is basically just for when the car is parked.

A few hours work this evening and I've got the beginings of the screen base. The shape is just rough at this stage and it'll need a bit more tweeking and finishing but you'll get the idea.

Just checking the clearance for the rear vision mirror.

I'll make a patern for the screen itself from thin masonite. I'll then take that to the plastics supplier and they can cut me some marguard sheet and polish the edges.

Cheers

I wonder if there's a way to attach or apply those clear lexan plates to the rear of the roll bar? I know they are quite effective in some new roadsters like the Boxters and SLKs in eliminating the buffeting to the back of the head. It would certainly help in luring my wife to take more rides with me if the "hair problem" is deminished.

Mike
will you take a flat piece of marguard and shape it then attach it to your alumin. base section or do you intend to heat it and have it follow the same shape & profile?

Got a 3meter long forced convection oven here at work which would be perfect to use if you like, it can maintain set temperature to +/- 0.5oC. which allows low temp. for shaping but no distortion of the material.
