Graham Jung Posted May 31, 2001 Share Posted May 31, 2001 Has anyone got a set of these fitted to their seven - I've got them sitting on the bench and just want to make sure I've worked out exactly how the screens fit to the chromed support before I start drilling holes. Do the feet go in the middle of the support? Do the screens fold flat forward or back? Photos much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Day Posted June 1, 2001 Share Posted June 1, 2001 Graham 1st thing to make sure is that you have the right pattern ali stanchion; if you're keeping the wiper mechanism in situ then you want the right ones to clear the mechanism. Secondly decide whether to bolt the screens just to the ali or through the scuttle as well. I've fixed mine to the ali only & the whole assembly seems rigid enough. Thirdly the screens fold backwards so the feet need to be towards the back of the ali. There should be some centre punch marks which determine the inboard end of the feet. Forthly I fixed mine by bolting from underneath the ali (you need to countersink the bolt heads). You can also fix your mirrors this way. It seems that aeros create less turbulance than later Superlight type sceens maybe because of the air gap below the screens. Angle of attack is adjustable so plenty of scope for driving the car to work out what is best for you. Finaly go see Keith's as he seems to have made a reasonable job. PS Keith: have you seen the various mesh grills that have surfaced since your Ring trip? Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipper man Posted June 1, 2001 Share Posted June 1, 2001 I haven't seen anybody else's, but my car has a nice wire mesh grill now. Therefore, it'll never see another object thrown up by a car in front again! It only cost me £200 to learn that lesson.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
