Brooklands windscreen mounting

[papak]

Is there a "correct" way to mount these? In front of the mounting post or to the rear? Above or below the pivot?

This is how I mounted them on my Caterham SV, I don't know if it is the correct way to do it but it looked better than the reverse.

That’s what I had done but I stopped by the local Morgan dealer and asked how they install them. They said that they do the reverse and mount them behind the post. I would think that this would add to the tendency to tilt aft under load but what do I know. I was thinking that I might fabricate mounting posts with a third screw position to spread the load a bit. A friend has a CNC setup and we could cut them from round bar stock.

papak,

 

While my car isn’t a Cat, here’s how I mounted Brooklands. May generate an idea or two: http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=21338

What thickness did you use for the bracket? ⅛”? Nice job of bending it. I figured that I would have to make a wooden form to get the bend correct. Thanks for the pictures.

.125" used. Lots of trial and error with getting the bracket angles right.
