Re: Wind deflectors

Hi Jeremy. I will take a few photos and explain how to. Simple if you have a drill, hacksaw, file and Workmate. The wings are a bit more difficult cutting without breaking, but materials may have got stronger in the past 25 years. Get back to you shortly.

Re: Wind deflectors

Hi Jeremy.
I have attached a link (hopefully) to Photobucket, where you can download the photos of my screen fittings.
I made new fittings this year, so all items are available.
1- alloy bar (hollow or solid) 10mm x 10mm
4- Cavity wall fittings. The spring loaded wing type, with central screw.
4- M4 stainless socket head screws and nyloc nuts.(Namrick.co.uk)
8- M4 fibre washers. I used black (ebay)
4- M4 or M5 screws for fitting to screen (or self tappers)
4- Pieces of alloy to make plate for outside of wing hinges.
1- M4 tap to thread screen and hinge plates.
Cut bar and shape curve with file.
Drill the 4mm hole, allowing 1.5-2mm from curved edge.
Pull apart the cavity fitting, keeping the side that fits over the bar.
Fit to bar, loosely with M4 screw. Make sure you can swivel through 180 degrees. If not, file curve until you can.
Drill other holes to suit wing and screen, tap a thread where needed.
The fibre washers fit under screw head and nut to create the tension to hold the wing at required angle.
The angle on the front of the wing is determined by the angle of your screen frame. The cut out at the bottom is to fit around the frame bracket, making the wing a bit longer.
This reduces the amount of wind coming around the screen and getting behind my glasses. A low side screen then reduces the wind coming over the door.
Hope all this helps.
Cheers
Ron
