tidying up bottom edge of Mac1 aeroscreen

Morning all

Hoping someone here can come up with a good idea. I fitted the aeroscreen to the Indy last night and I'm not really happy with the bottom edge.

Because the bottom profile of the screen isn't exactly the same as the scuttle I think it looks weird and thought some rubber trim similar to windscreen rubber would make it look better.

I've looked at Woolies etc but can't find anything suitable.

Any ideas welcome

Cheers
Nigel

Car Builder Solutions might have some - perhaps a slim door seal style?

Ive seen some quite nice curved leading edges to the aero screen (aero not sports - i presume we are talking about the same thing here (double bubble aero!!))

I am told that a dinner plate makes a lovely template

sorry I'm talking about the sports aeroscreen that looks like a cut down windscreen.

The main problem is where the scuttle falls away at a completely different anfle to the screen which leaves in my opinion a rather ugly looking bit that doesn't look finished properly.

I've been digging around mopre and some photos seem to show the screen has been altered at the bottom to remove this so I'll have another lok tonight.

Thanks for the input anyway
Nigel
