Talking Dont go to flimsy !!!

On the cobra i built the screen sides went through the scuttle panel and bolted to the chassis loop that went under the dash. There was also a center stay that went from the top of the screen down to the scuttle, this was also used for the rear view mirror. This all sounds ott untill you get up to speed with the weather gear on and realise that the hood is trying to pull the top of the screen off. Also every passenger that got in or out used the screen pillars to pull on. Dont go thinking that you will get away with just bolting the screen to the scuttle bearing in mind the weather gear will also be tensioned against it. I think the screen itself is the easy bit.

Just thoughts
