Aeroscreen (again)
Hi,
Does anyone know if the aeroscreen has to be clear - or can it be smoked or even solid?
I have an old piece which is ideal, but is 10mm thick and a bit scratched. Have cut it to size and it looks great. I was thinking of using "boy
racer" tinting on the inside to make the scratches less visible.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Pat...

without wanting to hijack your post, can anyone explain the requirements for an aero screen to be considered such? ie is it possible to use a fairly
large one without the need for wipers and blowers?
Thanks

As long as the top edge of the screen is below the horizontal eye line of the driver and complies with the requirements as stated in the SVA bible
then you don't need wipers/ demist facilities. It can be solid as technically you are looking over rather than through it.
Pat, as far as using boy-racer tinting spray, I used this on my first prototype screen as it worked very well. You just need to spray it on in very
light misting coats until you get the desired depth of tint.
Hopr this helps guys
Cheers
Tim

Don't risk it! You don't need any type of screen for the SVA. The tester was quite exacting with the sight lines on my test and as you
often have to get the seat as low as poss for the belt mountings to pass anything other than a clear, undamaged, screen will probably fail, it would
be better to fit the aeroscreen afterwards.

Cheers.
The top of the screen is way below the line of vision and the top of the aeroscreen is radiused. Was going to use tinting "film" instead
of spray, but you've given me an idea to very lightly spray each side now.

Do all you aeroscreen boys feel the need to wear helmets and/or goggles?
