Wind deflector on full roll cage
I have a windscreen on my Indy. I know, must be light on my loafers right? But I like to drive without a helmet and wish to keep my current dentures
intact. Still, despite the windscreen, there is a shed load of buffeting goes on so I've been looking at fashioning a side screen. I also have
a full rollcage so have come up with the following. It's a piece of perspex, drilled and mounted to a couple of clamps that I got off ebay that
are designed to hold stage lights to rigging. I searched for 50mm clamps and that's what came up, pretty much prefect for my purpose. Would
recommend, 4 stars.

I'll probably redo the perspex, was my first attempt. Certainly helps having the screen but still doesn't stop my wooly hat from trying
leave my head.

I made wind deflectors for my last striker any years ago fitted to the windscreen like the ones you see on Cobras improved the buffeting but I also
made half doors which improved it even more , my present striker has a windscreen and I can't drive without a crash helmet if I don't have
the doors on so it must of worked pretty well.you may want to round the edges a bit to stop them cracking .

I made some for the Indy, cuts the buffeting a lot, but as Ian said, side doors make a huge difference.

I always worry about someone's head impacting the rollcage without a helmet on in the event of an accident. Rollcages are really designed to be
used while wearing a helmet.

Yip, would probably smart. Although with the harness on, the nearest structure is the rear roll hoop that all these cars have, don't think it
would be possible to reach the cage anywhere else?

Did the top deflectors, the ones above the screen, do much?
Neat job btw.

What did you use to mount the side ones?
