Hi. Im a new member that has an mk Indy.
I have an Indy with single rollbar (not hoops or cage) that I need to fit wet weather gear to. The wipers, screen, de-mister etc were allready fitted so I was about to purchase the kit from MK when I found a receipt for the screen. It appears it has a caterham s3 screen. Before I fork out 650 hard earnt nuggets does anyone know if the gear will fit? Hope someone can help. Thanks.

You should try Soft bits for Sevens, they have standard products and will also make custom ones, not far away from you - well much closer than MK. link

If MK still use the bow method of fixing the hood to the screen then you need to know if the top of the screen is the same.

MK used to use a robinhood screen but I don't know if they still use the same screen.

The bow I had was rubbish and even after returning it, it was no better and I am still trying to find a better solution.

you could always do away with the bow and use poppers but you will need to do a little sewing.

Thanks for the advice.
Checked out the link for soft bits before but almost dismissed as didn't list full gear. I'll give them a call and go from there.
The screen I have already has a row of poppers attached so they might be able to fit to them. I'll post again when I have a solution.
Cheers again.

I to would consider soft bits for sevens. There stuff is very well made and can be considered wet weather gear.

It would be a damn site cheaper than £650 too!!

I would also want something more than just a set of poppers at the front. Unless the roof is well fitted you may be opened like a can of beans at 80mph.

Soft bits did a great job on mine
Tried to upload pic but failed!
poppers on the screen are ok in excess of 100!

I bought a second hand hood and modified it to fit the Caterham screen on my Indy. It just has poppers on the front and stays on perfectly well at speed.

Hi Stu.
When you say you bought a second hand hood, who's hood was it? Did you just modify the brackets or was it a material modification?
Thanks.

Also, Soft bits for sevens have not made full wet for the Indy (yet!!). They have done the half roof a few times though.
