Wind deflector
This is not something you tie round your waist to avoid one of those socially embarrassing moments. No, this something to fit to a Berniletter. The frame is made from a steel framed folding garden chair, cut and welded back together. The mesh is fly screen mesh from your hardware shop ( 3.50 pence ) the pins that hold it onto the hood frame are engine bolts from a Maxi ( I think ) with the heads and threads cut off, and a hole drilled to take an R clip. A can of black paint ( 1.25 pence ) These cost could be reduced with a little ingenuity. If money is of no concern , a 3m length of aluminum (at) 20mm x 2mm could be used to make the frame. After these photos I raised the frame so the top was level with wind screen frame, and I found that one sheet of the fly screen was not enough to stop the wind and have ended up with three layers. It works well even at high speeds. The only thing left is to secure the mesh onto the frame using a clamp method rather than cable ties.
