furtive Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Jules might be interested in the windscreen and/or pillars (if they don't have a mirror attachment. He doesn't know that he might be interested yet though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juansolo Posted September 30, 2003 Author Share Posted September 30, 2003 There are some holes tapped into one set of pillars where the SPA mirrors were bolted on. Don't think there's any in the other pair. Window is in good nick and crack free, could do with a blummin good clean though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juansolo Posted September 30, 2003 Author Share Posted September 30, 2003 Like the new aeroscreen - looks better than the OEM one - where did it come from? It was a one off made for me by Paul. It based on a copy of a JPE perspex screen except it's shorter and GRP (sadly it just didn't work in carbon). We measured it all up and crossed our fingers it would fit. It's pretty close to spot on on my narrow but the larger one we did sadly didn't work on a wide It'll fit a Caterham though so it *might* go on a pre-lit. With a little bit of fettling I reckon the narrow one could be spot for sale. Especially seeing as no one out there caters for us SE/SEi owners when it comes to 'screens. I'm chuffed to bits with the results, we'll see how it holds up. Don't think it'll be an issue as Cleggy fibreglassed some additional mounts to it and it's rock solid. Just got to get Paul to cut down my SPA centre mirror and get that fitted and it'll be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juansolo Posted October 1, 2003 Author Share Posted October 1, 2003 Ah! Didn't know that, that would've saved me a lot of hassle. b*******it! Edit - Though you do only mention widebody cars on your site, it's not apparent that you do them for narrow also. Looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timd Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Yup, just realised that! Although TBH, it's only really starting to become apparent that the screens fit both cars. I think they'll fit on narrow and wide cars, but not pre-lits.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juansolo Posted October 1, 2003 Author Share Posted October 1, 2003 I would have thought it needed to be smaller? Shouldn't be too difficult to take it out of the middle as we did. I *think* we took 31mm out, can't remember exactly, but then that was out of a screen designed for a Caterham... I know the resulting ickle screen wouldn't fit on my brothers wide though.

timd Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Put it this way then - it fits fine on my widebody car (along with lots of others) and also fits well on at least 2 narrow cars. I think Barney's is a narrow car, as is Graham Young's shown here. (don't have any closer pics, sorry) I think the difference is, with the JPE type screens where you essentially have an angled plane of perspex cut at the bottom to fit the scuttle, you have no scope to flex the screen to fit, and would have to alter the trimmed edges to take up the differing scuttle widths. With mine which are shaped, rather than cut IYSWIM, you can just pull the corners down. The 'screens need fixing at the corners anyway so there's no real problem. In fact I have now started to alter the layup slightly to allow for this flexing, making it easier to do. FWIW, the best fitted screen I've seen so far was Barney's, and I'm 90% sure his car is narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
