Klasik-69 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 WTB: I'm looking for a windscreen for my R300 superlight (not an SV). I've tried to order one from Caterham but it appears they're out of stock on the fiberglass units. The CF version is in stock but @ $650, not much of an option.

Croc Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 As a suggestion, try Carl at Seven Speed. http://www.sevenspeed.co.uk/ No guarantees but I have seen quite a few times that he manages to have access to items when Caterham is out of stock.

Klasik-69 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Thanks for the tip. I looked on their site but couldn't find an aeroscreen. They have the CF aeros for the front wing stays and some unique stuff but no windscreens or aeroscreens. I did find some at MOG racing in Germany http://www.mog-racing.com/ and I may end up ordering from them if I absolutely have to. On their site, it shows 358 EU with the brackets and approximately 20 EU for shipping. The shipping has to be more than 20 Euros so I was apprehensive..............didn't want to end up with a 300 EU charge to my credit card for shipping added to the 358 EU for the aeroscreen. Has anyone had experience in ordering from Europe ? If so, how much is the shipping ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I think Fluke Motorsport and Mog Racing are the same? The Fluke price is in pounds so may work out cheaper. Email Carl anyway as he does work with Mog for some of the pieces he sells. Blubarisax has ordered stuff from Mog so can chime in on his delivery experiences.

Jim F. Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I don't know if this is of any help or not, but for pricing comparisons, I looked up the original invoice for my smoked Caterham plexiglas Aeroscreen with companion black plastic SPA mirrors (rt,lt,center) from 5/22/04 in the amount of $736. On the same order was the "7" logo aero fuel filler cap for $162.50. Those were net figures as there is no sales tax here in Oregon. I'm probably going to put my car up for sale in the spring or early summer and will include the uninstalled screen and mirrors in the sale (along w/other components).

blubarisax Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Mog-Racing is great. Shipping can be expensive depending on what you get. Joachim always gives you a firm shipping cost before placing the order. I got a CF nose cone. 5" headlamps and 8" wide front wings and was happy with the quality. Have also bought a number of other things and they are very helpful by phone. I have not used Fluke, but I think Mog owns Fluke or something like that...

The fiberglass aeroscreen I originally ordered from Caterham USA was $425 + freight. The CF version sells for $650 + freight but is in stock in Colorado. I didn't think the difference in weight was worth $225 difference in cost. However Jon said it was an awesome looking piece. I'm sure he's right but I'm more interested in speed and cutting down on the air brake from my full windshield. I may just forego the whole aeroscreen thing and just use the two extra windshield braces I have to mount the mirrors. I think the aeroscreen only manages to bump the really big bumble bees up to face level as they come across the bonnet. And why is it the bees, wasps and other stinging insects come into your body stinger first ? I won't even mention roadside buzzards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
