So @PaulY and I were chatting about the screen and roll bar that I want lower in both cases.
I also want to slope the screen back, just a little bit.
This will mean finding a new screen to adapt, or making up a fresh one. As I do not think cutting up the fibreglass one that is there, and patching is back together, will really work very well.
So either find something off a Beach Buggy, or even a kit car item that is not longer in use.
And Plan B which is probably really Plan A will be to make a new frame and get custom cut glass, make a sensible frame support and slant back.
The existing screen is held in place with what looks like silicone, possibly an automotive type, and three domed head bolts, with nuts from under the dash. So it can be removed, albeit at the risk of looking real scruffy once done.
So screen back from current position, same base. And also shorter by up to 100mm
When you look at the posed pic of me in the RX8 seat.
I think it can go shorter.
As will the roll bar and harness mounting bar.
Front profile of screen base.
Sizes I am working with on screen.
Side to side 59.5” or 1510mm
Total height 19” or 480mm Glass height 400mm
Glass width 54” or 3980mm at the bottom
Glass width 50” or 1270mm at the top.
And stolen from another thread
Sans screen
And same car once painted and lowered.
So, as always looking for ideas, suggestions, random or not so random.
From speed boat to Lotus 7 or Duval (which ain’t happening)
Whatcha think?
