Post Photobucket reboot from October 2012 continued..............And so to the next stage..........
Edging added and brackets trial fitted.
New on the left, original on the right.........
The new brackets are much simpler, but the hard part is spacing the windstop for a decent fit. There has to be enough clearance to fit the headrestraints, and the right angle to hold the windstop hard against the back of the restraints. I don't know if this would work with the current smaller restraints. The spacing with washers takes quite a bit of trial & error.
So for comparison: first the second (original size) version.
And now the latest series 3 version..........
Fitting detail.......
Spacer washers......
It needs a road test to make sure the brackets are strong enough. If not, more faffing with thicker ones. Apart from a struggle at the end with the right spacing, this turned out to be a couple of part days, so time well spent.
