Wanted: Perspex Wind Deflector for Dual Hoops

JAV11S · Post by **JAV11S** » Wed 28 Mar, 2012 09:30

I'm after a Just Roadster-style clear perspex wind deflector to fit the aftermarket 1 piece dual chrome roll hoops as shown below:

If you have one to sell please let me know.

Erm without stating the obvious ...... have you tried Simon at JustRoadster ? (he does not bite but he will keep you talking for ages

I'm guessing Simons deflector won't fit those chrome hoops?

Has anyone bought one of Simon's wind deflectors....(No wisecracks please

) I mean one of the perspex jobs... How thick is the perspex??

I've had a couple off simon (in fact my first was his prototype). My second he custom made for the AC Schnitzer hoops (they have to be custom made for those as there is no set installation height).

They are the best quaility ones I've ever seen as they are properly machine cut.

Sorry I don't know the thickness and my cars 30 miles away in storage (until Sunday

) If you look at my journal you can see them being fitted with detailed pics.

I looked at your pics..looks a really good fit. As a rough estimate, would you say about 3/8" thick??

I was keen to find out if anyone had a second hand one they wanted to sell.

I made my own out of 6mm perspex, made a cardboard template and drew round it onto the perspex, cut it out with a jigsaw and polished the edges with a grinder and sandpaper. Cost about 30 quid in total

Have you found 6mm to be thick enough? What did you use to attach it to your roll bars? I had considered making my own, but thought I'd test the water for a secondhand one first.

Hi Yocky, I assume by standard roll hoops you mean factory fit roll bars, so its this model you have:

Assuming it is then I would guess the 2 are a different shape?

Yes it's the one for standard roll hoops,yes would be willing to post if postage paid cheers tony.

JAV11S · Post by **JAV11S** » Sun 01 Apr, 2012 19:35

Yocky - thanks for offering it to me, but I assume these are different otherwise Simon would just sell the same one for both. Thanks again, hopefully it looks you might have another buyer anyway.
