Dax aeroscreen

Look what I made!





Laid up yesterday, cooked this morning for two hours and here she is, fresh as a daisy:-



Im off out the garage to trim and fit!





If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!

i was watching your progress on the DROC forum, have you got a side view? what is the deflection angle like? mine hardly does much and i think mine is quite steep



i guess you can only test it when its on the car, buy just in my opinion the aero screen doesn't look very substantial and i think it will have little effect i hope im proven wrong

Slightly OT - is there an IVA implication for aeroscreens ? If you stopped suddenly, could you or the passenger be injured ?

you don't put it on until after IVA Test, it would fail on radiused edges as there not radiused enough

OK, fitted. Looks kinda similar to yours bud, I dont expect miricles from it but if it reduces any buffeting then thats got to be good. As you say though Im not going to know unitll the car's on the road. (Hopefully next week!)





As for IVA, I guess the same applies as it did for SVA. Fit the screen after youve passed!

Watcha Sean, thanks again bud! It did the trick.

Can certainly sell them but not sure of cost at the moment. I suspect somewhere around £140ish posted but I will need to check on this as its not my business and the guy that owns it is away at the moment. I own the mould though as I do with all the remade Dax stuff. Actually the only moulds I havent got are the scuttle, boot and nose cone. The latter may change over the winter!
