Looks very nice Mr Monty, just need some nut caps to hide those ugly screw heads

Or until then, just a black marker pen.

Nice touch with the Nurburgring sticker.

Couldn`t find any black self tapping screws and the only plastic caps in B&Q were the white ones :roll:

Heck i`m not really that bothered about the screws when the dam hood scrapes on the hoops :evil:

Monty,

The windbreak looks good mounted there, you'll have to let us know how it performs at 100mph+ which is where LGM's straps hit their limit.

In prep for doing track days i bought a type 1 crash helmet off ebay, with the postage it was £30, so i removed the stickers and fitted my own Decals :-D

since the regs require u to wear gloves in an open top car i bought some sparco gloves of ebay too for £20 including postage.

Sparco gloves. Ebay

I love the nice finished touch you have on the windblocker. Very classy there :smt023

Notice that you have yours mounted on the inside of the bar not outside and you screwed it into the bar instead of using the leather strap.

My windblocker works fine up to 130 mph or so. All I need are just adding 2 round rubber feet (> 1 cm) at the top corner of the windblocker where it is facing the rollbar. So it absorb the vibration at speed. Looks really stable on yours with the screws.

The rollbar sits dead flush to the bottom on mine. -- Thanks Marie for the installation :-D
