Is it possible to fit a hood to a Locost and if so where do you get them from.
I ask the question bearing in mind the aluminium screen frame as made in the "book".

Anything is possible. If you can build a car, a hood should be no problem. It's my next job.

Before I went away for the summer Dave Ashurst was building a hood for his car, I dont know how thats coming along or if he has finished.

Also Surrey Dave made a hood for his IIRC.

Several people have done it, anyway anythings possible

Cheers,
David

I'm sure RobinHood Engineering do a weather kit for the 2B and it can't be that different to a book chassis (they do use sierra back end though so it may be better for McSorley 442)

For the Scottish lads FMT in Dunfermline do make hoods for cars and the stainless gear as well.

He says he would prefer to work off the car rather than plans.

Has anyone tried to fit weather gear to cars with only aeroscreens??
