Anyone who would like a patern of what I have wound up with, I would be glad to send along. Also, because I have a good bit of plexiglas left over, I can cut out some if that w…[Read more]

You did it to me.  Now I have to really do it myself, which I have only half said I would.  It will be this winter’s job, only I am thinking of kobolo.

Yes you did.  I made some myself, and made them quite a bit larger. There was not much different than the nornmal size ones.  I used windwing hinges left over from my MGTC which worked quite well.  They can be bought from Moss.  Trying some other ideas all which has to come to a good end sometime.

    I made my wind wing large, really large.  It helps up to 55 or so, quite a bit.  But it doesn’t look right.  So I am still looking for a pattern.

  Being new to all of this, please have patience.  I have posted the picture on the TD Replica site.  Where do you suggest I start looking.
Also, my two rear view mirrors really do not let me see for safty sake, do you know of any right mirrors that can be attached to the windshild?  Or what do you suggest?

It seems the windshield would be a good place to attach, but if anyone has an idea that works, please let me know.
