Mark Gibson Posted August 7, 2023 Author Posted August 7, 2023 Does anybody make these apart from Westfield?

Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 I use a pair of Caterham ones which I prefer as they are smaller. A bit pricey, though I see a pair on eBay currently which are a bit cheaper. You just need to check that your mounting pins are in the correct place, mine were ok I think although the top pin was a little low. I’ve since redrilled the pillars and they work fine. https://caterhamparts.co.uk/windscreens-aeroscreens/151-wind-deflector-kit-with-protection-bag-all-cars.html
dvd8n Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 I got the eBay ones. The plexiglass was fine but I wasn't thrilled with the hinges so I fitted Westfield ones. D
Mark Gibson Posted August 8, 2023 Author Posted August 8, 2023 I've just realised they are only £119 from Westfield so if I get some that's where I'll go. What's the consensus on their use please? I already have Westfield doors and a half hood now from Softbits
RickRack Posted August 8, 2023 Posted August 8, 2023 Hi Mark, after advise from a number of drivers I brought a pair & they make a big difference, certainly with the doors off. It appears to lessen the turbulent air entering the car and the buffering, but you quickly notice the stone chips “pinging” against them. It’s a 👍 from me. 1

dvd8n Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 It wasn't too much of a hassle to drill them - it wasn't difficult and it gave you a chance to get the position just right against the side panels. Like I said, though, I wasn't made up with the hinges supplied. The pins were just a little bit too fat. I thought about sanding them down somehow or drilling out the pillars but in the end I bought some Westfield ones which made a better job but which added to the expense. D
