Robin hood windscreen/roof

[Darryl]

Hi there,
Does anybody no if a Robin hood windscreen would fit the roadster with Saturn scuttle? Also how would the roof/sidescreens Size up?
Thanks,
Darryl

I'm sure spud or somebody will be along to confirm but I seem to remember this being discussed a while back and thinking that the scuttled are a different profile. Think the haynes roadster and a robin hood may be slightly different widths to. I could be totally wrong though.... It has been known

[Darryl]

yeah i was thinking that it would be doubtful that they would be the same..
Thanks,
Darryl

It's a shame really no one is selling off the shelf windscreens and weather gear for the roadster

I recall spud(Saturn) was looking into someone in Holland making windscreens to suit the saturn scuttle.Dont know if it ever came about

The scuttle would be the wrong radius to take the windscreen Darryl, the Dutch firm where these Steve:

But nothing ever came about it.

Open opportunity for someone me thinks

Indeed, there's alot of roadsters around I reckon that'd buy them if they where available

i reckon a caterham one is not far off. waiting on my mate james t o try his next time he has it off. i tried a robin hood one and it was too wide at the top. the roadster/saturn scuttle is quite narrow at the top and slopes off quite steeply which seems to be the problem

Hi, it is my intention to fill this hole in the market when I get far enough in my build. I am a way off and may even put an aero screen on to pass IVA and then experiment with a design for windscreen and weather gear using my car as a base to work from.

The plan is to offer packages, something like this:

* Screen and wipers only (only suitable post IVA)
* Screen and wipers, and heater
* Full weather gear. Screen, wipers, heater, canvas roof and side panels.

The screen etc would come with a mounting kit to be welded (probably rather than bolt) to the chassis. I would also aim to do kits for the standard roll hoop and the other popular full cage design.

That is unless somebody beats me to it!
