When is the production run eta?

 

[littlefeller]

im messing about with low riders screen at the moment, going to try different curvatures at the top and see whats best then i can start making them, so in the next couple of weeks.

looks good but defo needs to be either flat on top or a much more subtle radius

Cheers pal, I made the fixing brackets today and just sat it in place as I am going to lower the radius, I don't want a plat top as every thing else about a Z has curves

 

[littlefeller]

agreed, i dont think it will look right with a flat top, a radius is much better, good looking brackets

Thanks pal, I used your idea but found some 3mm acrylic for the 2 out pieces, it makes them 11mm in total rather then 15mm

i used a small piece of rubber tube inserted through a small hole to hold the screen in the brackets (just in case it rattles), i did try magnets (really small extra strong ones used in shop fittings, this works very well.

yeh i did the same, after i dropped the magnet idea i didnt need them to be so thick

I don't think it will rattle as they are a very snug fit, just slightly tight and need a little tap to get them fully on I also sprayed them with texture coat and mat black

Looking at your picture from the rear of the car Sean, I would copy the curve of the windscreen onto your wind up blocker and have it higher at the sides. That would look very nice I reckon.

Good plan Tony but to be honest it already looks a bit on the large side so I wouldn't want to raise the sides at all, I'll drop the radius and see how it looks

 

[littlefeller]

i lowered the radius on the one for low rider, it does look better.

 

[Sean d]

Radius lowered and fitted, much better in my opinion and still as effective

 

[littlefeller]

thats it.

Next job, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, was going to be the new tyres for the wheels but I now have my eye on something else

 

[Dino D]

Looking good. Loving how that colour looks even on a dull day.

I'm patiently waiting to see those fresh 108's fitted to the car (don't forget some rear spacers)!

Thanks pal, the problem I have is that when I fit the wheels I want to get the full effect, which means, I need the spacers, Eibach 30mm springs and painted blue calipers, the z fund has a couple of hundred in it so I am trying to be patient but its killing me.

 

[5harp3y]

Muuuuuch better!

 

[DavidM]

It will be worth waiting for - the look - the stance - the car will look perfect!

 

[Sean d]

Out today and put it through the paces, no rattles and it stayed put,
