Closed wheel body for locost chassis - windscreen?
I'm about to start designing a closed wheel body which will fit onto a locost chassis. I have a stuart taylor locorage (basically a locost) at
the moment, but quite like the idea of making it a little more interesting.
Anyway, I'm thinking something along the lines of the arion s2, or sylva phoenix/fury, but I'm struggling with finding a donor windscreen.
Has anyone got any suggestions? I was thinking maybe a mk1 MX5 screen, but it might be a bit too wide. I know the sylva cars use an elan s2 screen,
but I think this is too upright, I want something a little more swept back.
I'm about to start modelling it all in CAD and will hopefully have some ideas soon which I'll post on here.

Mev is putting the Smart screen as an option on their Exocet.
VW Superbeetle (1303) has been used on Westfield Elevens.
Other candidates are the Fiat Cinquecento/Seicento and the Ford Ka.

How about the Elise screen, probably not cheap tho' 
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Good call. You can get heated screens for Elises, too, which would make life easier with demisting and IVA:

You might also think about looking at the Japanese K-car type sports cars; stuff like the Daihatsu Copen, Suzuki Cappucino and (rarer) Honda Beat.
