5 foot 11 inches + aeroscreen


Recommended Posts

Posted

after my extensive searching on aeroscreens tonight it seems Tims site has dissapeared, so I assumed you could not get the JTO one anymore, hence why Im looking at the playskool one which seems a little higher and therefore maybe a problem?

My site is still online, I archived it after I sold the car to here.

The aeroscreen stuff is here.

As correctly noted above, Will Maskell now makes them. His site was http://www.aerodynamix.co.uk but hasn't been working for a while.

just been through your site Tim, really interesting. I have seen your car before but didn't realise you were the original builder, I bet it was amazing! Yes, Will's site is currently not working, but I have his email now (thanks Steve).

Now I just need to decide if this screen will be big enough, or if I need the playskool one (bearing in mind it will be used on the road without a helmut sometimes)

???

cheers!

i find that the higher SLR type raises the air enough to find helmetless bearable ,but tbh i rarely do more than a blat round the corner without one.

tims one wont lift the air above your head IMHO .

the playskool , westfield one can if adjusted high enough.

I'm not sure Will Maskell is still doing them, I know he sold the car he was in the middle of building fairly recently...

I'm 5 foot 11, have westfield race seats in a narrow body.

Will be fitting the playskool screen in the next week or so, did a trial fitting with no visibility problems. :)

perfect!

and coupled with comments above, seems that the 'Tim' screen is less suitable for road driving without helmet. Looks like I will end up with playskool one.

Remember Westfield racing seats raise your :arse: an inch or so above the floor. The R500 alike seats sit you lower in the car...
