I am considering making a glass aero screen, I saw one fitted to a Luego in one of the monthly Kit Car mags and it looked good.

It appeared to be mounted via a shortened set of screen mounts, without the use of a screen surround, or at least no top to the surround to obscure vision.

I am considering using glass of not less than 6.4mm thick (not sure whether to use laminated or toughened), CNC cut to give a good radius to its edge at the top where there is no surround.

Would a slightly greater rake to the screen make it more effective, and what height could I get away with?

I am sure someone out there has done something similar already.

Why glass?

Lexen is cheaper, lighter and easier to shape.

I work with glass is the only reason

I think it might be bill132hotrod - he's got a purple Luego. He lives round here somewhere and I think I have seen the car at an SKCC meeting or Detling or somewhere.

Yes, there's a pic in his archive - might be worth a U2u to ask him about it?
