Aeroscreen

My aeroscreen had been on order with Tiger for a while.  Finally got my hands on it and then finally found some time to install it.


I wanted it as high as possible to deflect the wind from my head.  At the same time I did not want it so high that shorter passengers could not see forwards.  In the end I found that there really was only one place it would naturally sit.  The high windscreen mount on the Avon Mk2 body, combined with the maximum you can bend the side of the aeroscreen pretty much determines where it ends up.  I fitted the centre fixing first, got it straight and then fitted all the other fixings.   Holes had to be cut and filed for the existing mirror mountings.


Very pleased with the final result, even if it doesn't quite lift the airflow over my head, it finishes the scuttle off nicely and adds a bit more contrast to the white bodywork.


Motorcycle fairing fixings were used for fitting along with some rubber P-trim between the scuttle and the aeroscreen.

Mirrors Fitted

IVA compliant racing style centre mirror bought from Car Builder Solutions.  This has rubber trim around the edges and  a single M6 threaded mounting.  This was bought in preference to a similar model with a flat mounting base.  The flat base would not have sat flat on the curved Avon scuttle top.

Dumbo ear air brake side mirrors inherited from Bob following his IVA (thanks).  Likely to be upgraded to something more sporty at a later date.
