Like the scarf! Though I'd be afraid it would snag on something and rip my head off. Probably unlikely. 1 in 3 tops.
Nick, Tibetan silk, 6' long, I only let a little out for just that reason ...
Krazy Horse fitted the Fairbourne windscreen to Thumper, but I was not totally convinced by the fit and finish around the bonnet
The older Morgan's have a metal support for the windscreen, so I thought that duplicating this would be a good way to hide the joint and maybe make it a little more weatherproof. So I got some 20 x1.5 mm stainless steel strip and tortured it into a compound curve using a mangle with gear driven rollers with narrow, deep, slots to restrain the strip in the axis it really wanted to bend. The stainless steel strip put up a valiant fight but was eventually persuaded to bend and actually took on a lazy Z shape from the edges of the rollers. I wouldn't want to make another pair!
The strips were drilled to clear M3 stainless steel Allen screws and attached to the windscreen. The strips look tidier than I expected from behind and the front. I have some self-adhesive rubber strip which could be used to hide the back and make a seal, but I may not bother with them.
Took Thumper out for a spin in the sun and the windscreen worked perfectly....
I think you will find a need for a seal of some sort. Rain tends to run down the screen, into the mounting and then onto your legs. It also comes in the centre where there is a gap. I was surprised at how dry you can stay in the rain with the Fairbourne screen, as long as long as you keep moving. The trim looks good.
