Windblocker - brackets!

[shenab]

Hello

can I get your advice please?

Looking to get a windblocker and you know I know nothing about this kinda stuff.

Saw this on ebay, price is right and seem to screw in to the same area the mx5parts one does, for half the price .. do you guys reckon this is ok?

Hi Shenab,

I bought this windblocker I think from this seller and it worked very well.
And if your interested I still have the windblocker, cause it wasnt on the
car when it went up in flames.

The only thing is you will have to get some brackets and screws to put it on
cause they were on the car.

If your going to galway i can bring it with me if your interested?

that would be great! Of course I would pay you for it, just let me know how much you want. You're in Dublin aren't you? I would be happy to meet up with you, am hoping to have it on before Galway. Still have by hard top on .. doing my head in.

Also, where would I get brackets. Would I go back to the guys who sells these? Do you think they would just sell the brackets/screwsto me? Or am I being totally thick and they are just standard brackets .. I know nothing !!!

thanks
Shena

First I bought this one:

I found out the windblocker with it was pretty useless after I bought this one:

I'm loving this one... It's brilliant for the Mk2

Thanks to Tigger, I am now the owner of said windbreaker.. now all I need is a handy bracket or perferably 2!

Anyone?

Awwww, drat. Threw away my old ripped windblocker and I'm 95% sure the brackets went with it. Bu88er.

Simon,

thanks anyway, any ideas where I would get some, Tigger reckoned DIY but not having much luck? It I could get a pic from someone that would be really really useful.

Hi Shena,

I just clicked on that ebay link and see it's exactly the same windblocker as i have.
I'll take some pics tomorrow and post them so you can see what they look like and how these are attached...

Thanks Robin

Shena, I made brackets for a windblocker a few years back for someone - the ones that were supplied with it were too short to fit, could have a bash again.....

[shenab]

Dave, thanks for the offer, where are you based?

[Decay]

Hi Shena, I'm in Drumcondra.

Hi Shena,

Here the pics as promised.




Give me a call as these might be taken too close-up and a chat can talk you through easily.

Thanks Robin, Decay has very kindly offered to make me a set of brackets and he now has my wind breaker ..

Perhaps these will be useful to him
