I’m fitting a pair of Brooklands aero screens to my 1985 4/4 Roadster and am looking for any advice. I’m fitting a fold down windscreen kit first and want to place the aero screens behind the folded down screen. It seems best to remove the padded coaming from the dash/scuttle to get a firm fixing for the aero screen brackets. If so I may as well keep it off or perhaps fit a shorter padded section for safety reasons or just leave it off altogether? It seems advisable to bolt the aero screen brackets direct to the metal scuttle/dash as screws would come loose over time. Anyone done this mod? I would appreciate any advice/experience.

Mine are screwed driectly through the padded dash top. Screws are long enough to bite into the wood - obviously need to drill a pilot through the metal.

They've been on there at least 10 years, and I have regularly run with the screen down in my 30 mths of ownnership

I put a post on here probably 8 years ago on fitting aero screens. I took measurements with the dash dropped of where the wood is under the metal. I too drilled through the leather. I used Simmonds mounts but I don't think you can get them now. Be careful of the distance of the wing nut on the aero screen & the windscreen. Sods law says that it will touch the windscreen if you aren't careful.

I bought the folding screen kit from Hearts of England. It is best to remove the wiper blades fully before folding down.
You will also need a scuttle mounted mirror.

And I found my thread on this.
