For those who aren't familiar, these are small Lexan triangles that pop behind the plastics on the A pillars. They deflect wind from the diver when travelling with the top and windows down.
A few people have expressed interest in getting some in another thread.
I have a tool we made to produce these. We don't want to make any money out of it, so the deal will be you pay me for the cost of materials and postage (about a fiver?) and make a donation to the club.
I've ordered some Lexan, so I can make a small batch. First come, first served!!
Please register your interest here.
cheers

Sounds good, these are a brilliant mod. I might as well have a spare set, just in case!

@Call the midlife! ... since you mentioned Mongos,
@Carolyn again is going above and beyond and 12 lucky people including me are getting them.
I love this club.
Carolyn you are a star!

Mongos are ready. Those of you who have reserved a pair, please PM me with address and email address.
The deal is you cover my costs for materials and postage (£5), and make a donation to the club for the product.
Nice one!
Thanks very much, just need some window down weather now.

Over here it is like summer in the north now. Stable too. Yet anóther week of sun, 0% rain chance, in the forecast.
Grandparents of my son are coming this way for a week in the guesthouse and the beach.
Was at the coast yesterday/last night with mountain girl; she´d booked an appartment at the beach for a romantic escape; charging up for the grandparents´visit ;-)
Unfortunately not with the MR but with her suv; unbelievable how much luggage one ´needs´; more surprising still when during the day the sun dictates sparse clothing and at night risqué going out even less... :-O
Anyway all clear skies; short sleeve in the sun.
Just back in the village; had a bit on a terrace at town square.
This was just now, at 1 km from the farm
(https://myalbum.com/photo/6w9hih5iUfKr/1k0.jpg)
I thought the bhp/ tonne thread had been locked!
PM sent, and donation paid.
Cheers.
PM sent and donation from me too
Rob
PM sent along with donation to club ;D
All sorted together with the donation.
Maybe I will get wrapped on the knuckles again but hey, no pain no gain!
I suggest a Mongo photo thread.
Óne photo each; prize is having won 8)
Payment sent along with donation. ;D
Payment and donation sent.
Hoping mine get here before Friday. Planned a trip to Huelva and coúld combine the see through deflector with an Osborne bull underway and gf. That one sure is game enough!
Mine just arrived in the post this morning. Payment made earlier this week.
Thanks again
@Carolyn , you're the best!
Quote from: househead on February 25, 2020, 11:31Mine just arrived in the post this morning.
Mine need to travel a wee bit further and then go into the mountains and then sómehow to the farm. The latter involves the P.O: dropping a notice in the box at the road then me getting down to collect. As the office is one open 2 hrs in the morning it is easy to lose two days on that alone as the notice is per definition a day at least late. This time complicated further because Friday is a holiday...
I will drop by the p.o. tomorrow and Thursday moning to cut out the middle man bringing up the notice.
Mine arrived too.
Many thanks!
Last ones posted today. That's all folks.
Got mine today too
Very much appreciated

This illustrates what a cool lot this club is.
Just recap: Two weeks a go a member mentions something about the side window wind deflectors.
Carolyn observes that she still has the molds.
Next thing is that she´s made a batch, they are paid for and the things start arriving!!!
That is simply put :o :o

Moulds?? Just a wooden jig in the vice, a heat-gun and bent by hand...

You do know that this is more impressive still don´t ya´ ;-)
Mongos arrived today and promptly been christened by Bob the Pointer! Still all very serviceable, just got bite marks at the end. Oh well, I suppose you could call it "character". Naughty Bob Bob. Thanks Carolyn. ;D
Got mine today too
Very much appreciated,

Today on the N340 to Algeciras, then over the A383 to Jerez, than cost to Huelva. Hostal booked for the nicht.
Clear blue sky, top down, blond charming company.
Same forecast for tomorrow.
Will be tough without the Mongos 8)
Mongos still not arrived yet, and MOT due next week.

They were sent out at the same time as the others. I reckon they've gone to post office oblivion.
I'll see if I've got a bit more lexan....
Edit: I've ordered a bit more Lexan. Enough for two pairs. So one pair for Moredone and one extra.

Ok. More mongos have been produced.
Two are spoken for, which leaves two more perfect pairs(well, as perfect as I can do!)and one slightly imperfect-but-you'd-never-notice-when-it's-on-the-car. Three in total.
