Removable Scuttle

Has anybody made their car with an easily removable scuttle so they can easily swap between windscreen + wipers etc... to stripped out aeroscreen style? Just thought it would be interesting. I think people with Westfields sometimes do this.

As the windscreen is only held on by half a dozen bolts, I'd have thought it'd be quite easy to remove it, and replace with severely chopped down screen (full width aero screen), remove the wiper blades (covering splines with something protective of course), and job done.

Probably take 10 minutes that way, rather than mucking around with hard to get to scuttle retaining bolts, wiring, speedo drives etc etc.

My scuttle comes off and leaves the dash in place fitted to a hoop. I don't have a windscreen or anything but it makes it easy to get at wiring and speedo cable or steering column. Pictures in photo archive.

yours, Pete.

I'll take it all back then:-)
