I can't say the weather matters much to me personally but if I can avoid a lapful of water I will.

The dilemma is this - I don't really want to wreck the leather on the scuttle and when I received this from a friend in the German Morgan Group it made me think of maybe building something smilar, it could avoid the lapful and certainly leaves the leather intact. It looks a little too modern in the lines it uses but this could be modified, in principle a good idea .
I have a friend with a serious engineering company who would let me use his facilities or build it for me.

p.s. Spares and then Racing screens is the route on their site.

Bit of thread drift here, in typical TM style.

Richard. I believe Borghi sources his folding windscreen system from Morgan Park but fits the Aero screens on a stainless band that does not involve drilling any new holes in the car. All it needs is longer screws on the studs for the tonneau cover.



This set up is flippin gorgeous !! How come a chap in Hamberg is making them ?


I guess he gets up a little earlier than everyone else.

Having looked at both systems I am inclined to take a mix of both these systems. Do away with the screen and mount the Brooklands screens and mirror to a stainless bar but utilise the existing screen bases to mount it with, beneath the strip of stainless use a flat U section neoprene seal to form a small barrier to light rain and protect the scuttle. This is what morganpark have done with theirs - their system just looks a little too modern for me oldgit but beautifully executed.

Personally the folded screen doesn't work visually so it has to go totally. I've never been easy to please.

This way I can return the car to normal screen and roof leaving it unmolested having removed the bar holding the screens and mirror, that's the theory anyway we'll see how the patience lasts.
Time for a few measurements and drawing then a visit to my mate.
