What quick release and wheel did you fit? Quote

The design came from the Blatchat forum years ago. Bit of a thread revival here. Has anyone still on here made their own wind deflectors? From this pattern? Where did you get the hinges from? Did that offer a substantial saving over the ~£150 for those off eBay or off Westfield themselves. Cheers Quote
dvd8n Posted Sunday at 22:08 Posted Sunday at 22:08 Only half answering your question but I bought some wind deflectors, didn't like the hinges, so bought some genuine ones from the westfield shop. D 1 Quote

Cheers Hi, I made my own from 5mm polycarbonte which I sourced from work. The lift off hinges I got from Amazon for £12 and just used the male half to slot into the windscreen. I didn't use the template but made my own with cardboard and some wire inserted inside it. This allowed me to set the angles I wanted. I used the standard Westfield shape as a reference and worked from that. Then replicated the shape with a right angle bender. They definitely make a difference to buffeting. 1 Quote

D I presume you meant you bought the entire deflector from Westfield - I can't find just the hinges in their part shop... Quote
