Windscreen - Open Cockpit

[TWebb]

Looking for ideas for a small windscreen for my '69 open cockpit racecar.

Any thoughts?

Have you looked into Aircraft winshield?

Thanks for the lead with the link to Aircraft Windshields.

Now I need to determine how this gets done.

Have a look at some of the vintage race cars like C Type Jaguars or pre 1940's to get an idea on how the screens were fixed, or talk to a race shop that restores/maintains older race cars like Crossle 9S or Elva Mk7. Look up Tony Ingram (Ginettas/Elans) on your side of the water as he is someone who will likely have the information you need.

Thanks, Tony

You might also usefully take a look at the website of White Ellerton Products Ltd. They have been a leading manufacturer of windscreens for racing cars since the '70s. I'm sure they would be able to offer useful advice and to manufacture something bespoke. Hope this helps.

My son and I have an s2 which we’re assembling as a “Speedster”, we’ve made a new screen frame that’s only 6” high, with a Lexan screen., is a TTR super lightweight Chinese eye shell.
All we’re missing is the fairings …..
we’re assembling suspension on new chassis at the moment, the 1760cc LTC’s ready and dyno’d with 42mm webers, semi close gearbox and 3.77 with quaife lsd running on panasport super light 13x6 mini light wheels (now need to be painted black) with Khumo 185x60x13 R spec tyres it should be loads of fun. All in oretty much like the picture. Certainly motivating.

I still have a dream build in my head which would be that. I love the rawness of the 211. I suspect I would go with a bigger wheel and probably a chin spoiler
