I have had the Brooklands on for about 3 years and prefer them. BUT, I am thinking about reinstalling the windshield for the summer, so I could fashion a bikini top for the sun. This summer has been brutal in Texas. I have a high roll bar so I think I could get in and out if I undo a front snap or two. Anyway, it's quite easy to switch the windscreens. Visibility was the main reason I got the Brooklands. Besides the afore mentioned buffeting, the top of the windshield frame was right at my eye level. The ideal would be to find someone close to you with a windshield to try on, or one unmounted that you could place on your car.

Be aware that the full windshield will not solve the sun/wind problems. With the Brooklands, the wind hits straight on. With the windshield, the wind whips around and buffets from every direction. The sporting goods stores have little tethers that hold your hat so it does not go by the roadside when it blows off. At highway speed, I use a little motorcycle helmet with a bill for the sun. You might be able to use the cage to mockup the clearance of a top to see how you will get in and out.

Be sure to ask the seller about the Bobby Archer connection (in photo under steering wheel). If I remember correctly, the Archer brothers ran some very good race cars in the 1980s. If they assembled the kit, that would be a good thing to know.

Wow! Some of y'all must hang out in some shady neighborhoods. I never take any such precautions and have never had an incident (10 years in December). Of course, it's not a truck, so most Texans wouldn't care.

As Enzo and others so wisely stated. The horse goes in front of the cart, not behind:

You have my deepest condolences about the move.

If you can get enough tire on it, this should be the only 7 with wheelie bars out back.

Light? Ridiculously. Looks better than a science experiment, so far. https://www.thedrive.com/news/company-builds-powerful-500cc-one-stroke-engine-immediately-installs-it-in-a-miata?utm_term=The Drive_Wire_07.14.23&utm_campaign=The Drive_Wire_Actives_Dynamic&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email

Great. Keep us posted. What happened to the Tipo 184 someone was trying about a year ago?

That may be a truly shocking idea!

That gets a big WOW.

That is interesting. Should be a weekend of news. Good news if the Seven goes up the hill.

I think "Lightweight" in EV speak means less than 5,000 lb.

Looks like the electric Cat is nothing like a Seven https://linkst.hemmings.com/click/32013006.23065/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGVtbWluZ3MuY29tL3N0b3JpZXMvY2F0ZXJoYW0tdGVhc2VzLXByb2plY3Qtdi1lbGVjdHJpYy1zcG9ydHMtY2FyLz91dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9RURhaWx5JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj0/603e9ba0008a0542dced201cB4684cbf3

Nice looking car. Enjoy!

If it is going to be temporary, you could go a LOT cheaper with something similar to a MICO (ZF) brake lock. There are some with a tiny lever instead of a button. That would look hysterical in a Seven. Keep in mind it only locks in the pressure you have already applied to the hydraulic system. Some centuries ago, I was a UPS delivery boy and had a wonderful package car with a MICO brake. As I came to a stop, I could apply the MICO and be standing in the door when the van actually stopped. Back when UPS drivers were reputed to run.

Very nice looking set of gauges. The fuel gauge in kg may make you feel a bit F1ish.

SOLD to another USA7s member,

The drivers look even worse than the poor car. Chapman was smarter than a computer!

Great job on the aluminum. That windshield is going to start a lot of conversations. Love it!

White with red is such a great combo. For me, an old Lotus should have a red leather steering wheel. Well bought project!

Is this a "Pride" thing?

You hooked me at, "Maxing the car in Mexico. " You must tell us about that.
