Wind Deflectors

Have made a pair of these for the Tiger to see if the wind will ease off on the old ears.
Also, if it don't, will make a good stone deflector for when i take my 8 year old son out for a blast. The car will be back on the road in april, so will have to wait and see........ Rescued attachment Wind Deflectors.jpg

If you really want to cut down on the buffeting then you will need to extend down the sides of the scuttle. I speak from experience of having done the same job a few years ago.

Ok thanks for the info. I must admit, i have seen something like what you describe, and as you say, this is what is needed, but it needs to look reasonable and i don't think it would look good, if i extend down the sides of the scuttle.
I may add trim to them yet as well.
I remember the buffeting reducing enough when i put my hand where the deflectors are, so fingers crossed.
As Tesco says ' Every little Helps' Lol

Thats true but remember your hand is connected to your arm which will be running near the side of the scuttle. But indeed the deflectors should make a notable difference
