  1. So this was the donor deflector Simply prise apart This is what you now have Lift away the mesh and use the frame as a template Use a fine toothed jigsaw to cut the 2mm Perspex And you should have this Check the fit Press the two halves of the frame together and you will have this And this is it fitted
  2. Hi Jimmy. Photobucket now charge for 3rd party hosting and so all the links no longer work. I will fish out the images and host them on a better site and then post the links here.
  3. Yes I noticed that immediately I fitted my Perspex one but as Stuart says the brain seems to filter it out pretty quickly.
  4. BTW I don't think you need a vent in the bottom. I didn't get chance to check Dan's one when we got together a couple of weeks ago but I suspect that the gap is something to do with it being glass. The Perspex one from the States doesn't have a gap and if you put your hand in front of it at speed the wind pressure is pretty low.
  5. The mod is really easy to do and it will only cost you about £6 in Perspex.
  6. Do you have the prep kit for the mesh deflector fitted?
  7. It ok Dan, it was before your time here.
  8. You got me thinking there is DJ an MC? It's the same in terms of buffeting and visibility it just has the framing that links the roll hoops in a slightly more integrated way.
  9. Thanks Stuart, I was pleased with the result. Now do I sell my Technowind?
  10. Angus, The Perspex was much easier to get the shape right as its not as detailed as the one you made. Also the edges are completely hidden so I didn't have to be too fussy.
  11. It really is easy. There is already a wide gap so a screwdriver pushed along the line of the joint opens it up nicely without damaging the plastic which is, itself, quite flexible. The 'female' side has metal retainers embedded in the plastic channel and these grab onto the 'male' side with little spikes.
  12. I noticed that Dan. I haven't seen the glass one but I bet it's a real quality piece of kit, being German and all that.
  13. Thanks Mike, I was really chuffed with the result. I now have a choice of three deflectors to suit my mood.
  14. They're really easy to make. £6 worth of Perspex and about 15 minutes with the jigsaw. As an alternative to the Technowind it's a really cheap mod.
