Wind Deflector


Recommended Posts

I bought one off of the For Sale section a while back for £70 and it was well worth it! It was a doodle easy-as to fit, and doesn't impair the hood nor the seat belt hubs whatsoever. SWMBO is very pleased in cooler weather to not have so much air in the cockpit...

I was looking at this a while ago but I have a roll bar attached and I couldn't see a way of getting around it without removing the roll bar.

I did think of making some kind of mesh sock that would fit over the roll bar and attach with magnets but that was as far as I got unless there is another solution out there.

Pete, if you still have a hood, the mount goes onto the bolt that the bottom of the hood is on, so it's a right doodle to attach. If you don't have a hood yet still have those holes and they're free from the bar it seems, subject to your checking it could work.

An option might be to contact a lady named Jill Judd in W. Sussex, who is primarily a sail maker but does lots of 1/2 hoods, etc for Sevens as I know Jill can make darn near anything with measurements. In your case you're really wanting a meshed "condom" style thingie with velcro to hook it up I'd guess so it stays put.

Thanks to both Steves, the option for the velcro loops was something I had thought about as it is quickly removed. I did make a hardboard template and fastened it on with tie wraps but didn't notice much difference apart from not being able to see rearwards :o

Pete

Velcro has to be one of NASA's best ever inventions!

PS> with our deflector which is immediately behind our seats, SWMBO says it has reduced by 80%+ breeze on her neck. Perhaps your roll bar being a bit further back yields a lower result Pete.
