Last night I dug out the Saturn/NTS/Gillham Aero thingumajig to see if it fit's, and it kind of does. There is a small gap but a bit of foam strip should do. Took loads of pictures which you can look at in my photo stream.
So if you can live with the gap this seems a good solution to the AGM body for an aero screen. |

Thanks, nearly there yes, but still lots to do! Now that some idiot has built a car in my garage I can only do stuff car related in the garage when it's sunny! Doh! Time for a car port! or a big tent! Aiming to be applying for the IVA around October time. Should be on the road for Christmas! Useful!!!
Bought a Dremel this week and did this with it. |

Some images of my front end before I button it up I've added more p-clips to the front brake pipe that travels around the front of the engine bay and decided not to run side repeaters on the cycle wings, they looked crap and now I've had to have one cycle wing repaired. I've managed to get three accessible fixings for the nose on either side as well.

I also got to fixing the bottom of the nose but decided to make a fixing plate come skid plate to protect the nose incase I hit an awkward camber or something. Roads around here can be quite shocking.
Also started fixing the lower part of the side panels. Last edited by CTWV50 : 27th July 2014 at 11:35 PM. |

So I'm spitting my dummy out about this side repeater nonsense. The IVA manual needs rewriting here as it's fairly ambiguous, but aparently they should be able to be seen between 5˚ and 60˚ from the direction of travel from the rear but also vertically between 5˚ below and 15˚ above. All of this isn't really a problem apart from the 5˚ below which in a car as low as ours is damn right dumb and causes a problem due to the rear wing unless your happy to fit a side repeater to your front or rear arch.
Whomever needs to see my side repeater from 5˚ below a car no higher than 750mm is a dead man as he's almost lying on the floor in the middle of the road. Unless we now have to take into consideration dogs and toddlers. But anyway I think I found a suitable yet unusual position. Call me mad but you can see the corner of the scuttle/dash from this viewpoint. 5˚ out and below Proposed position 60˚ out If anyone knows of any reason why this is a nono location please let me know.

I would be fitting a more bulbous side repeater onto the side of the scuttle panel rather than at the rear. Obviously can be changed in the future.
something like this will look better in the long run and will fulfill the iva requirements |
