Windscreen wind deflectors - do they exist for the TR4A?


Recommended Posts

Hi Ron,

don't know about the side deflectors but I was given a great idea, by my friend Gordon up in Scotlandshire,

 

if you have a 4 or surrey top 4A, 5, 6 then you may be aware of a considerable noise (wind shear) from the windscreen top capping.

 

With the use of a length of triangular section glazing rubber seal stuffed in the gap the noise magically disappears - honest.

 

It really transforms the driving experience. Better than Webers any day.

...and I would add that small plugs in the backlight Surrey frame mounting holes are effective as well.

 

I obtained a suitable section from our local double glazing firm, gratis!

 

Not only is conversation possible at most speeds, but the reduction in wind noise leaves the induction/exhaust to be savoured.......

Wondering if anyone has seen a set for the 4-A (clip on - I guess, at the windscreen posts). Have seen them for the TR-3, but not for the 4

 

 

Look at this.

Moss USA 647-010 - they have fitting instructions online.

Moss Europe - Offer for TR2/3 but original Amco design have a curve at the bottom (looks like they have remade them with flat plastic) - Healey or MG T type might do.

USA Forum arcticle with view of them fitted.

On the other hand.....

 

I think they are standard fitment on all Micho cars - just wind the handle sticking out the door casing and they rise or fall to your chosen height from the door.

wow thanks - pretty much exactly what I was looking for - although I need to figure out if the weather seal has to be cut (and I don't want to - clip on, please!)

Read the Moss instructions that are linked to the sales info - it gives a photo of how much to cut
