My Roadster How to build a windscreen

This video shows the steps that I have taken recently, to build the windscreen for the "My Roadster" project. So far I have been working on "Mr Roadster" for approx 18 months.

The basic construction is out of "U" section mild steel and 50mm x 5mm flat stock. The glass is laminated and BS marked approved and is 8.8mm rather than the 6.4mm that is standard. The rake of the screen is set to approx 40 deg. I also integrated the side mirrors mounting points into the screen pillars.

Of intrest, some of you will have noticed that the screen seal is actually made up of a cut inner tube that my girlfriend (Sharon) cut for me, and this turned out to be a perfect fit!!

Finally, the whole thing was painted in satin black.
