Pritch,

As regards panels, I just used some aluminium chequer plate on top with some ali "rolled" around the front radius. Inner wings are ali sheet bolted onto tags using riv nuts.

Also, I used the tubes of the wings to re-mount my shocks.

Dont have any pictures from around build time, but these are some showing it in use:

( I am aware of the bonnet to wing gap, I use two sets of hinges, the second higher set give better cooling during hard work!)

simon r

have you ever thought of offering this kit(wind protectors) as an ''off the shelf'' conversion , would be a few takers im sure , me for one :D

p.s split charge arrived today , think postie kept my X-shaft tool :angry:

Sorry to hear that! If you PM me your address (I don't keep forum names in the database), I'll send you another free of charge.

There seem to have been a few of them that have been opened by the post office (security perhaps?) and not re-sealed very well.

I did look at making wing-bars - but the problem is that unless you are attaching it to a cage, the bulkhead is not strong enough.

Imagine what would happen in a head-on collision. The pointy bit is going to be heading straight for you and will just poke a hole in the bulkhead.

Although the A post hoop is in pretty much the same place on most 90/110s, it is not exactly the same enough to make a strong enough 'universal' mounting.
