Violet Elizabeth Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 Well Andy, I am in a good position to answer your question, as have just finished (hands are still dirty) this conversion. Not sure what your skill level is, but I am an utter spannerphobic, and with a little help from the father in-law it was an fairly easy job. We made life difficult for ourselves by fitting a central mirror that requires bolting through the scuttle, which in itself is easy, but human fingers are not made for fitting up behind the dash. At least mine don't ! Taking the windscreen off is not hard, biggest problem is getting to the back of the bolts, which required me drilling out some rivets. Depends on your car as to ease of access. New stanchion requires drilling/countersinking the fit the brooklands screens, quite easy. Then need to fit mirrors. The SPA type ones can be fitted just like the screen by countersinking bolts from below. The Racetech ones need to go through the stancion and scuttle and are bolted from below. Old bicycle inner tube was glued to the underside to give some protection. And the result ! Proper bugs in the teeth motoring. Am now very much a fan.

Julian Thompson Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 my new SLR has an aeroscreen that picks up on the same mounts as the standard windscreen so I can swap to full glass in a matter of minutes. Maybe you'd be interested in one of these rather than the standard type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
