Anyone know where you can get wind deflectors from to fit a manx style screen ?  :-\

Have seen mirror mounts but they are for side mirrors and have threaded holes

Am sure Ben or Dave dream will be along shortly, they're  the chaps to talk to as relatively recently done the same to their Manx screens and are decent top quality jobs.

on the cheaper side Chimp got the bits for the Jas ones, the deflectors are bathroom shelves off e bay at £3 a pair so have polished edges the clamps are proper jobbies from the states with an apprentice made 45 degree fixed mtg only thing is he drilled 8mm holes rather than tap one side for 8mm grub screws as asked for.  They make a big difference being close to the screen frame and being a lwb you can get your feet past them easily. if you can get manx clamps then fitting swivel mtgs to them will be possible.

I'm running the Wind wings from B&K. Quality bit of kit, shame they are now unavailable.



All the hard work is in the hinge, which is a beautiful thing





Not sure how much of a difference they make as I out them on before I ever drove it. I'm looking into having the hinges made right now......

I dought that glass is laminated, maybe toughened and if it aint a face full of glass when it shatters aint nice, so for me pollycarbonate sheet is much better , indestructable and easy to drill and work.
