IMHO, if you expect to do most of your driving with the top down or even up but with the side curtains removed, it IS overkill.

nope

I know that part. As I recall, it is part of the frame brace that holds the windscreen frame together. If I were you I’d take the screen apart to see how to improve it. No idea where you’d get a new one. The design is slightly different from a TD.

I agree, the wind noise is annoying, sorry.

Glad to meet you, Roger.

Bill, before the next hillclimb, please google how to reduce wind noise on your Go Pro. (If we could hear the exhaust, we would know your shift points and the video would be much better.) Please don’t think that I didn’t enjoy your YouTube postings.Royal2015-06-28 16:44:28

Did I mention that the great Ed Ericson is up on the hill working turn 7 withy son David. They’ve had to assist with about a half dozen incidents with cars and guard rails and cars and trees.

Welcome

TD’s were rubber. 

Typical body side molding used from the ’70’s. You can still get the kits but the problem is extra ends. You need extra end caps and I have no idea where to get just those separately.

Just as the too-old Christmas tree will dump all it’s needles, so too did my MiGi with all the “small number tags” on like colored wires that JTB mentions.  On MiGi’s first cleanup, I wondered what all the confetti on the carpet was from. 

That sounds like something FF might do. Or could be FF kits came with something like a wiring diagram, rather than any actual wires.
