New Aeroscreen
Following on from my queries about an Aeroscreen listed on Ebay I bit the bullet and bought it. Turned up today so thought I'd have a go at
fitting it tonight

Yep I know I need some proper nuts and washers but thats all I had available tonight

any trimming.

Yep it's the same one on Ebay, I haven't done any trimming at all and don't think any is needed for my application.

Yep i agree looks like a perfect fit.
Could you tell me what the quality of the inside is like, does it look o.k. when your sat in the car.
Thanks Paul

The inside isn't the world best finish but for the price I didnt expect it. The screen is thin enough to mould to your required application
within reason.
Here's what it looks like from the inside, all the white specs are dust the camera flash has picked up

Just spray the inside with some standard car paint - Try some Satin or Matt black and it will look loads better...
Looks really good by the way - Well worth the money!!!

I am seriously considering buying one, but:
How much of an effect do these have on wind buffeting? Do they reduce it quite a bit? Because on the last 3 occasions I have been in a locost, without
an aeroscreen (or an upright low screen) the buffeting was quite bad.

Just what I was going to ask... does it really work. I have currently got a short Lexan screen, which keeps the buffeting down but obviously
has something of an airbrake effect. I quite fancy the look of the bubble screens, just not sure of the effectiveness.
Let us know how it goes in practice

Dont think it would fit your scuttle Humbug if its like my ST one, because of the vertical "ledge" where you fasten your current screen.
Would fancy one myself so if you do get one and get it to fit OK then post . Cheers

Good point, Cerbera. it would either have to sit on the top bit of the scuttle, in which case it would probably lean backwards too much, or in front
of the ledge when it would then tilt up where the central dip hits the top.

I believe Wadders on here has a S Taylor car and he has a Westfield aeroscreen fitted so maybe this one on sale that looks like a westfield will fit
