VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1912-1928 Wind Wings on a 28 Tourer

Hi Guys,

Would anyone have a picture they could post of wind wings on a 28 Tourer, and how they attach to the windscreen upright.

Cheers

I have a set of wind wing fittings on my 28 roadster from vintage & classic reproductions here in aus. They aint cheap but you dont have to drill any holes, they clamp around the windscreen post. Look great stop a lot of wind. Hope this helps.

Gidday Fellas,

A couple of weeks back I decided to make up a pair of "windwings" for my Chev.

I priced the correct chrome mounting brackets which were not to bad in cost I thought but the idea of having new shiny chrome brackets hanging off old Monty just didn't sit well with me and I wanted something also that I could remove quickly if needed.

I'm more your practical Chev fancier and not your showy type as you have probably gathered by now so I grabbed out some metal strap, sprayed them flat black, had our local glass man cut out the 5mm clear perspex (500mm x 150mm) and I found some domed head bolts.

After a bit a measuring and bending of the brackets to line up with the 2 x windscreen bolts I came up with these





Then after a test drive I came back happy with the result and rounded the corners with the flapper disk on the angle grinder to what I was happy with.



Now I know they are not the correct size, or may look a little odd in appearance to the purists but I just wanted something that worked and worked very well and a trip and these do just that, I am very impressed with lowering of the wind noise and no more wind in the ears, the baseball cap now stays on the head and the wind burn on the face is also less.

Anyway each to their own....

Great result Grant,

A practical solution, fits the car and suits the owners requirements. That's the main objectives.

But the hair, what about the hair, does it stay in place?

Cheers

Well, what I say is Whatever flops your mop! is good enough for me too! They Look good on Monty.
