Someone was making templates for an areoscreen to fit the MK indy scuttle

Who was it. has he finished and is he going to sell them.

It was MK9R but think hes a bit pushed for time at present.
Ive just fitted one from MAC1.

We too have recently fitted one from MAC 1. However, given that we have GRP seats which sit low down in the car, we had to chop a couple of inches off the top so we could see over it.

I went for the light tint after J30FOS said that the darker tint was to dark to use with sunglasses on. There is also the option of a clear one.

MAD4X4 has the speedo cable reached you yet?

Do these screens make a difference to the driving experience? i.e are they worth the investment?

Hellfire - 20/5/04 at 02:12 PM

IMHO, No... they don't really make that much difference. However, they do make a slight difference to the flow of air over the scuttle and personally I think it improves the aesthetics of the car. It certainly looks better now its been chopped down by a few inches. We have the dark smoked screen and for £30, yes I think its worth the investment. (£10 for function + £20 for looks)

Thats because you chopped it down. Today was the third time I've been from Coventry up to MAC1, each time its been p*ssing it down with rain. This time I was worried because I accidentally leaned on the exhaust last week and melted my jacket, nice big hole . 1 and a half hours later at MAC1 in pouring rain, 1 dry right elbow!

Actually I just thought about it, if you chop your elbow down by a couple of inches, that should keep it dry

You plonker - the wetness was caused by the water flicking up from the front tyre The screen kept much of the water off! despite choppin git down!

Did you get everything sorted @ Mac1?

chipie - 21/5/04 at 10:53 PM

I know, was a little light humour after a long day. Yep got everything sorted that week. Have been using it every day this week. Nearly killed myself this week doing an impression of a snake at 70+ MPH (heavy foot racing Westies). Went back up to get the quick rack fitted and sump gasket changed.

Unfortunately we discovered the bolts I put in to hold alternator in place were no longer there, causing the fan belt to move/stretch. Therefore the battery wasn't recharging. Also a few other problems usual things that go wrong when you use it as an everyday car. Left it there cos they know what they are doing.

All I can say is thanks a lot to the boys at MAC1. Kept them there till gone 7pm. Hopefully they didn't get into trouble from their better halves.

Mark - Thanks for the lift to the train station, can you pick me up from Cov when you've finished it?
