Stoneleigh on Monday.
Now I need to get a suitable boss and steering wheel so that I can fit my fancy new one off screen and stop my bloody eyes watering!!
Well, the DVLA came through as they said they would, even if they are all a bit mad ;-)

JPSC area is up by the phone masts adjacent to the Royale area. The normal spot.
I think that it isn't marked on the guides, but that is where we will be.

Yes the screen is a one off so far. If you look at Jeremy's red demo car, he has bolted on an extension piece in front of his head.
This screen is the full height of that extension piece all the way across. It's as tall as the mould will make. It may upset the MOT boys next
year but I'll cross that bridge.......
The corners are radiused to finish them of as there are no side screens to be added. I thought that I would end up knocking them off getting in and
out!!
Where did you get that screen? looks great.
Im still waiting for my DVLA to sort out tax and registration

Did you paint / cover the inside if the central tub?. from the pics is looks black...what did you cover it with?. Car looks bloody fab by the way.
I talked the screen idea through with Jeremy and he had his usual supplier make it up from a very simple drawing. They then despatched it straight to
me - Jeremy has never seen it, only the pictures. Its about 30mm taller than Jeremys screen and had the corners rounded.
A 350mm Ford steering wheel is not dished enough, and too big to get my hands behind the screen. A boss and a smaller wheel on the shopping list for
the weekend.
I brush painted the inside of the tub with some amazing marine paint called Jotun Conseal Touch-up, from
www.smlpaintsandcoatings.co.uk
It's a single coat black brush finish and smoothes out really nicely.
Thanks, I was thinking of going to jeremys to get a screen this weekend, but the sound of the extended one appeals to me so i might talk to jeremy
about it.
How much was it, if you dont mind?
Honestly no idea - he hasn't got the invoice, and you know what he's like, didn't think to ask!
I'm expecting around £200 - £250.
Mines in Huddersfield so you're welcome to come and have a look at it, if that helps. It won't be fitted for Stoneleigh.
Thanks for the offer to look. I was hoping to sort it this weekend (if DVLA sort out my registration )
I wont be going to The show, got other things on at the weekend.
I will chat to Jeremy later today.
Cheers

Can you give me a general idea where that is on this map?

By the way, are you aware that if you have only just IVA'd and registered it, your first MOT is in 3 years, not 12 months?

Just out of interest, the reg plate rules require it to be mounted as close to vertical as possible, how do you hope to avoid Mr Plod? They may make you make a set of brackets for lower on the front?
Fair comment on the vertical number plate mounting. I have no answer other than the little boy lost pleading ignorance defence.
To be fair, I don't think most policemen would be that bothered (or aware of the rules) as long as they could read it clearly.
There are loads of these about and I have honestly never heard of anyone actually being "done" over this issue. Fingers crossed.
