WING WINDOW & SUN VISOR PRODUCTION UPDATE

aircooledaircooled(Bruce) Supporting Member

HI EVERYONE....This is just an update on my progress to make these accessories available. My CNC friend says he will have a couple prototypes ready at the end of this week. I will pick them up, complete what has to be done, install them to make sure they work at every possible angle and insure the "clutch adjustment" for positioning works to my satisfaction.  Today I ordered two sheets of acrylic. Chrystal clear for the wing windows and Smoked Dark Grey for the sun visors. This sun visor material filters out all but 13% of the daylight so I'm excited about their effectiveness as a sun visor! Currently I use transparent red visors on my car and really like them. This dark red visor filters out enough of the sun to make me comfortable driving into a low setting sun.   I received very positive comments (and two orders) about these two accessories at the Pomona Auto Swap Meet last Sunday. ....Respectfully...Bruce

I just re-read my last comment. I should explain that it isn't necessary to adjust the friction mechanism every time you move the visor/wing. It will stay adjusted even when you move it around a lot. But after a time, it may be necessary to tweak them a little bit. Hence, the 3/16" Allen wrench should stay in your door pocket etc. in a zip-lock bag in case you want to remove them or adjust the friction.........Bruce

Hi David.....Good Question ! I think you left out a word in your comment and if that word is FIT  then read on....If your CMC uses a windshield frame like most of our Speedsters, my visors and wings will work. They are lined with a 1/16" layer of condensed foam rubber in the area that actually clamps/contacts the frame of  your windshield. This is to compensate for any thickness variance and to protect the anodized surface of your windshield frame  from the direct clamping pressure. That being said, I'm sure someone will demonstrate to me that this comment doesn't cover ALL windshield frames. So Please remember that this is my best effort to make these accessories fit MOST of our cars..........Upward n onward............Bruce
