betarev3 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 As per title, looking to do some touring next year, I have a window screen and wipers etc just after a set of doors? Tom 07580 260 832
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Have you thought about half doors. I enjoy touring with them better than with full doors as I tend to see a lot more. I used to find that the top the door was always in my eyesight.

betarev3 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Posted October 2, 2017 Hi terry, where did you buy these from?
betarev3 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Posted October 2, 2017 Hi Geoff, was thinking of half doors but concerned about the buffeting off the screen?
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 @betarev3 I also have the clear wind deflectors and the deflectors and the half doors work so well together and it’s quite civilised in the cockpit. Is there anyone local to you who has halfdoors and would let you go in their car. I really don’t think you would be disappointed.

Plasic had rubbed againts the roll bar and marked them so just cut out the plastic window to make half doors and used 4mm polycarbonate drilled and bolted to the door. Kept the metal frame bit where it hooks onto the windscreen and in the top of the door, rest of metal frame was cut out. My first attempt of the poly window was about 6 inches shorter than in the pic, to much wind hitting my ear so just made another set longer. Shorter ones here 1
Kevin Pullen Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Gives me an idea as mine came with a spare set if doors
Yanto Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 I've thought about doing similar but taking the polycarbonate much further back, near the roll bar. I now have a set of spare doors that I can play with.
Terryathome Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 Did think of full poly windows but wanted to keep that open feeling if you get what I mean. I can look right Without a window being there. Without bending the poly with full windows I think they would tend to be quite close to my head as they tend to point inwards like normal doors. Might sound daft but there you go. Let's us know how you get on, post pics for us.
