Julian Bradley Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Anyone know about these? I gather they are only driver's side (therefore for racing?), and might be fun next summer. Does anyone know how much they cost and how easy they are to fit? I have a standard screen at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 I believe Peter C has these however you can get one for left hand drive racers so if you fit both (ala Peter) you get protection for the passenger as well I think they bolt onto the scuttle and new holes will be needed to be drilled rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony pashley Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 I use one. I went that route 'cos it was a) the cheapest way to go screenless, and b) It's easy to stash away in the luggage the remove sreen and fit on arrival (at some distant foreign circuit). I just leave it on now. Mounted as steeply as sensible it is maybe not the prettiest, but very, very effective. I have, courtesy of a number of generous friends, driven with all the possible screen/door configurations. (I'm 6' 2'' , use a low foam seat, but sit reasonably upright. Full screen with no doors is the most turbulent; the acrylic jpe screen looks nice but is functionally useless (too shallow, wrong angle, too much buffetting and would be better transparent and too expensive and not particularly nicely or accurately made; the Brooklands screens worked ok but not as well as I expected (couldn't find an angle that was quite right - maybe didn't expreriment enough); the little Vauxhall screen worked best of all, sure, you get breeze, but not buffetting, even without a crash helmet. You can get a left hand side one too, Julian (presumably intended for LHD). They need a bit of care and fiddling to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Bradley Posted November 22, 2002 Author Share Posted November 22, 2002 Well, this sounds like a good idea. Caterham sell them for about £55, plus fittings of approx £15. I think I need to drill holes in the scuttle. And get a tonneau, goggles, etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Unless you get a friend to make you a JPE screen (better quality, cheaper price, semi transparent) and monting blocks (better angle, stronger) I get so little buffeting I can happily wear a baseball cap, peak forwards) at, ahem, trackday speeds, without it coming off. 😬 HOOPY 500 kg R706KGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
