JP and I are in the middle of trying to figure out the best way to properly mount the Ginther windscreen on his car. Does anyone have any pictures or details of what others have done. We are coming across a couple of issues:
1. Where on the cowl should the windsheild be mounts? On the front, middle, or back in the location of the original windscreen. 2. How in the hell are you supposed to get your hand in there to steer, the windscreen is like 2" from the steering wheel. 3. With is all mounted, it is hard to see over the windscreen to see the front of the car...help here? Thanks in advance, Britain (and JP) |

Why isn't JP posting? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
When I mounted Randal's Ginther screen I put it in the location of the original windscreen. The wheel to hand clearance is small but usable. If it's too tight for you, you can install a center support (a good idea anyway, IMHO) and use the center support to push the screen up a bit. Does JP have a petty bar? That's where I mounted Randal's center support. I can't speak to how hard it is to see or not. Randal's car had no seats. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Attached image(s) |

I have spent many a weekend working on that car and getting it ready for the 2007 season. -Britain |
