So, a custom windscreen.
Either you make a foam template, or plug..and you can fiberglass that... Or,,,cut the a-pill till its 6 inches tall and either cut a stock windshield, or make one from lexan.... Or, make a plug or a mold from plywood...a form to bend some lexan on. You can use a heat gun, but 1/4 inch lexan takes a long time to heat up enough.... So, go find a cool car guy who works at a pizza place, or a restaraunt and has one of those big ovens... Get all ready wit your form, get the lexan cut to the proper shape.... Do a couple of test pieces and use a timer.... You have to get it just right..hot enough to bend, but still stiff enough to lift out of the oven.. If you make a mold from metal or aluminum..you can lets it slump into the mold..so you can look through the window on the oven..when it finally slumps...your done, take it out. Good Luck. Rich |
