Wind deflectors (elephant ears!)

[dave.carolw]

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get some wind deflectors?I saw a perfect set on a marlin in the car park at the Ipswich custom car show carpark, but by the time I got back with a pen and paper the car had gone.gutted!!. If I could get just the brackets/hinges I would happily make the deflectors myself as I have some 6mm plastic,but I would be equally happy to buy a complete set (for sensible money!).Any information(pictures)would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks Dave.

Dave The MOCs Tech Tips CD available from Club Goods has several articles and drawings etc about sidescreens, wind deflectors etc.
Well worth the purchase !

Dave,
It might be teaching granny to suck eggs but if you are going to fit wind deflectors make sure that you can close them in so that they don't interfere with your hood side screens

Dave, that may have been my red Roadster at the Suffolk showground on Sunday 28th Aug. If so, the wind deflectors are my own design using 4mm Perspex and fitted to the windsreen surround with heavily modified aluminium alloy door hinges. The extension on the passenger side was a temporary experiment for my wife's benefit several years ago and has stayed on the car ever since. If you are interested I can post some pictures or e-mail to them to you for more detail. Won't be able to do it for about three weeks as I'm away.

Geoff it must have been your car I saw, would appreciate info and pics if still possible.Many thanks to all again.Regards Dave Watson
