Nick T Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Does the wind deflector kit as sold by Caterham work, or do you still get battered by the wind? Any thoughts much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F355GTS Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Nick If you mean the side deflecters then they don't work full stop! You can borrow mine to try them if you like.....only used once Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 Alex gave me his deflectors and they didn't work, But having said that if you use a heat gun and bend the bottom of them back which helps them to stick out more will make a blat on a hot summers day bearable without side screens, you need to bend them so that they have a 45 degree angle to the window and that means the bend in the deflectors needs to be about 90 degrees. Once you have got the bend you will need to put some rubber edge trim on the botton to stop them rubbing you paint work. I have not worked out what I am goint to do about mirrors for them yet.

John Vine Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 I bought a pair last summer, specially for those balmy evenings. IMHO, they work better than nothing, but at anything over 60-ish, you're likely to lose your hat/teeth/toupee (delete as necessary). Probably not my best investment....

Dartmoor7 Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 The two drivers in my local area who do over 6000 miles a year both have them and both say that they raise the speed at which things become objectionable by 15/20 mph. They both say they would buy them again. Jerry Parker L7SVN 1.4 Supersport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
