Windscreen will depend on the scuttle shape and cockpit width. Do you know what chassis it is? Softbitsforsevens can make up a roof but most people
make their own. You will need demisters and wipers.

Was going to just put the screen in and coat it regularly with rain x then switch back to the aero screen for mot time,

The problem is that unless you have a roof and side screens the front and back of the screen will be covered in water. With a roof and screens it
steams up so you need a demister.
Having experienced this I would say that unless you are happy to stop and park up when it rains stick with the aero screen.
A full screen doesn't make much difference without side screens anyway. In some ways it makes things worse.
With a full screen and side screens motorway speed driving is much nicer.

Yeh i can understand that,
The main reason for the screen is the wind in my face rather than the rain
I have just ordered a screen from GBS 10 mins ago.!!!!
Im still looking at sides and a roof and might even go the whole hog and fit wipers and a heater.!!
Thanks
Mike

If its a robin hood screen i have one with the brackest you could have had for £50.00 or if anyone else wants one, it will not fiit an MK or similar.
Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

Ive got a Robin Hood/ GBS Zero windscreen on my MK Indy. If you are also going to fit the Zero hood and doors then the screen should be mounted an
inch or so further back on the scuttle.
