Adding a wind deflector

I've been meaning to do something to make journeys on cold days a little more comfortable in the Stag and add a wind deflector to it. I did this with the Spitfire some time ago and the difference on that was huge.

Anyway, at the recent Ally Pally show I spied a Stag on the Club Triumph Eastern stand that had such an arrangement, what appealed to me was its simplicity - velcro fixings at the top and gate latch strikers at the bottom.

So late last week, I fashioned a cardboard template and went to a local glazer that also provides acrylic windows for saloon racing cars - he did all the required cutting and shaping leaving me to add the gate latches. Finished it this morning and tested it - great improvement - just awaiting some rubber door seal to edge it with and stop the acylic squeaking. The next step will be to make up a tonneau to go over the rear seats which will be attached to the bottom of the acrylic screen using aluminium strip.

Some samples of material arrived from Woolies today, but I'm not that happy with the match to the existing Beige (code74) trim, so have arranged to go to South East Trimming tommorrow who have some the right colour (I hope)

Total cost so far £45 - a lot cheaper than Bosscreen!
