Hello Everyone.
Well, I guess I've been a bit slack.
I've been building but not posting.
I've got excuses - none of them any good but why don't I wheel a couple out.
1. Lazy
2. Didn't want to post anything up until I'd actually done something with a bit of a degree of difficultness.
3. Went on a holiday ............... for 3 months ............... to the US and Canadia .............. we drove from Dallas to St John's, Newfoundland, across Canada to Vancouver, then to LA, the long way, via SEMA. >30,000km in a renter in just over 12 weeks.
4. After getting back from overseas, I had a bad case of the 'just don't wannas' - I did little things on the car but didn't make any progress worth talking about. Excuses within an excuse were that it was too hot plus there was Christmas.
(Kinda sound pathetic really, doesn't it? I won't waste any more time on excuses)
Anyway, I have progressed. The following query from Greg N Smith made me think.
One question - With the pivots low on the screens will the wind fold them back ?
I had that problem with rear view mirrors
Good point - I had been just hoping that I'd be able to tighten the nuts and bolt used as pivots enough to stop the screens being affected by the wind but realised that was unlikely to really be feasible to work and that I'd probably just strip the threads, so decided to make up some stops.
I cut a quadrant which I welded to the screen and could drill and use a screw to fix the screen's angle.

This gives me 3 positions from matching the stanchions to lying flat with the ability to just drill some more holes if I want a different angle for some reason.
