Hamish Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Nice pic Hamish! Enough talk of aeroscreens....still trying to wean Ben's wife off the idea???? Don't worry as I only use them for competing. You note I drive too and from (1.5hrs+) each way with the windscreen ???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EdwinTiben Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Hey Edwin! You're supposed to be nimble and flexible at your age I'd have expected more of an athletic vault straight in behind the wheel . (some may need a crane - rather like King Henry VIII mounting his charger in full armour ) Sure i am ! Next time you see an adonis in a tr2, its me !! its quite small with the large steering wheel.. and of course i was a bit nervous because of the heritage value, what would i break ???

scottdr Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Is your scuttle top already drilled and tapped for factory aero screen? Peter W I believe so. There are two chromed bolts on each of the driver and passenger sides behind the full windscreen. Here are a few pics. Thanks! Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Andrew for letting us be the new custodians of your lovely aero screens and to Drewmotty for all your time and help today I'm now looking forward to sporting the new look on our trip to France at the end of September. Do those of you that drive with aero screens recommend wearing goggles? Yes, Bob, the dry spell is sure to break now! As the hood lets in water at the top of the windscreen and the side screens don't fit either, Geoffrey's wet weather gear seems to be designed to carefully channel all the rain straight into my lap. I'm determined to go with the aero screens as I think I would rather be wet all over, than look like I've got an incontinence problem! Vicky xx Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hiding behind an aeroscreen in the pouring rain at speed is a jolly jape. Yes goggles help as you need some eye protection. A good fitting hat is of great benefit too. Sitting in the full sun on a parked motorway is horrid. Have a parasol to hand or wide brimmed hat. It amuses the ‘van with windows’ drivers and their sprogs. Tricking along in a TR in a traffic jam in 1 st gear with a brolly up is so English. Just done this pass time this week on the M25, London’s orbital car park.

Hamish Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Ben and Vicky. Enjoy the new freedom and speed. Aero screens are great fun, less so in the rain the helmet and visor help when racing or track days in the wet like at castle Combe. only had to stop once and that was on the way to oulton park it was just too heavy to see and be moving. eye protection wise. I carry a pair of workshop glasses style in the glove box for when I feel the need. they need not look industrial https://www.arco.co.uk/Web-Taxonomy/Personal-Protective-Equipment/Safety-Glasses%2C-Goggles-%26-Spares/Safety-Glasses-%26-Overspecs/c/WEB_329646 Edited August 3, 2022 by Hamish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 Do not forget that you can get bifocal safety glasses for the older ones amongst us with less than optimal near vision. Great for reading micrometers in the workshop. https://www.edcmag.com/best-bifocal-safety-glasses/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trumpy3 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 As an addition to all the above, The TR Register in Australia (back in the early 80's) use to have manufactured copies of the original optioned units in chromed brass. I have a set and they mount with a single bolt either side. As I can not access the details of the ones for sale, they may be some of those. I know some were sold overseas. At that time we also made thermostat housings, door striker plates and TR3 grills. Back then, parts were hard to get here. Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
