New Side-screens at last

[Gary RH7]

Final got my new side-screens fitted after waiting ages for the trimmers to complete the bottom material part. 
I can now get up to 90Mph without my cap blowing off. 
6mm polycarbonate!!! Quite solid.

Looking good. Do you get any backdraft at all?

Very nice mate.

Do you get any backdraft at all?

... a bit personal...

The main draft was from the back but not much.

You going to attempt the side screens on yours yourself?
I spent ages taking pictures at shows and working out the best way to do it. I then saw paintman's screens on the calendar which gave me the idea of polycarb without a surround but they had to be made to measure as the car is so old and I knew nothing off the peg was going to fit.

I have got 2 started already, but at the moment are just flat shaped aluminium (2mm). They span from the scuttle to the rollbar. I was just going to wrap them then trim the edge with rubber. Now thinking about 'armrest' in them. Had also thought about the top half in polycarb' and have a sheet of it (10mm), but may be too heavy?

After fitting the half hood I was expecting a lot of backdraft, but nothing at all really. I will probably continue with the sidescreen with armrest and no polycarb for now and perhaps wind deflectors too

I think 10mm will be a bit heavy. I have seen them at 4mm but I have set mine in an aluminum channel which just fits the 6mm. Also mine are quite large so I needed something like 6mm so they wouldn't flex too much.

Will you be at the Riverside tomorrow night? I plan to get there sometime after 7 but will leave before 9. If you want to see close up or I could do more pictures if that helps.

Yes, I'll be there. I won't have screens but will have the roof. So far the roof hasn't see any rain but still makes a good sunshade!

[Gary RH7]

OK see you there.
