tobes01 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Hello, Apologies for what has doubtless been posted before, but I've been searching the forum and can't actually find the answer I'm after. I' like to fit aero screens to my TR3, but don't want to drill the scuttle to do so. I've found the repro screens on eBay at an eye-watering £550 a pop, but is there a more affordable option? There are references to fitting kits for Brooklands screens, but I can't actually find where to source them. Many thanks, Tobes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Hi Tobes This problem caused me to produce my aeroscreen mounting brackets that adapt modern aftermarket aeosccreens to fit the Triumph original fixing points. Aeroscreens from Moss etc cost about £200 a car set and my bracket set is under £125. A car set. The job is then done. No drilling required. PM me if interested. I still have a couple of car sets.

tobes01 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Fantastic, thank you, have sent a PM. What would you rate as the best 'affordable' screens - is it the Moss ones? Cheers Toby Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EdwinTiben Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Or go original (Well repro original ) https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-TR2-TR3-Factory-style-racing-aero-screen-aeroscreen-/332362079923?hash=item4d6252deb3%3Ag%3AXq0AAOSwOMdZW7-f&_trkparms=pageci%253Af79b6ff8-99ec-11e7-a2b6-74dbd180037d%257Cparentrq%253A8494613215e0a8670b818feafffadcc1%257Ciid%253A18 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
irrational Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Those look so good. But the price is eye-watering, even though they look so perfect. The standard of crafting seems worth the price perhaps. I saw that Revington has an aeroscreen like Moss', but they also have original style feet. These are 160gbp a set though, taking the total to about 320gbp or so. Still much cheaper and not requiring new drilling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EdwinTiben Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Pair of originals still top that price! I like the looks of these better than the brooklands, but that just personal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ijonsson Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Sorry about "hi-jacking" this thread, but does anyone know how to fit the rubber flaps/seals beneath the Brooklands I've seen in some pictures, are they glued to the frame? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Inge- I bought some black square "u" shape plastic channel strip (about 5mm square) which was just wide enough to take the rubber, then I glued the rubber into the strip and fixed the strip underneath the screen frame with"outdoor sticky-fixer' double-sided foam pads which are black. I did put a very small rivet through each end of the rubber and channel for extra support. The picture shows the screen folded flat on the scuttle. Its been in place now for five years or so with no problems. Edited September 16, 2017 by RobH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I have been doing a 'kit' to add a seal to the bottom of repro aeroscreen for some years, to go with my original style mounting brackets. The kit requires gluing a channel to the aeroscreen frame so is for those with technical skills. The channel then retains a section of original lower screen seal. I like Robs idea of using heavy duty double sided foam tape. I currently glue with black epoxy glue. Cheers Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EdwinTiben Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I have used ultra strong double sided adhesive tape to mount my rear licence plate to the spare tyre lid for 3 years now. Still holding strong even after driven on speedways. A tape frome one end to the other would be strong enough! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roger murray-evans Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Tobes, Depending on what level of newness you are trying to achieve, there are always aeroscreens (or aero screens) on ebay, secondhand, and can be picked up considerably cheaper than new.If you are using PeterWs brackets you won't need most of the mounting gubbins that you get and that you are paying for with new screens. All the pre owned jobs are aluminium and will polish up very well thankyou! Roger M-E Quote Link to post Share on other sites
