Aeroscreen - any one got one of these?

Evening all, just browsing ebay and saw this:

Aeroscreen

Has anyone got one or know anything about them? Any pics would be good, I am thinking of one for my Velocity.

I like this 'double bubble' style and was thinking of one of the westfield ones, but they are a tad pricey for me and wondered about his as a cheaper alterantive.

Any thoughts, comments or info welcomed

ID on here is Perci and photos are in their archive and the in the Luego section of the forum under the post Stoneleigh postings...

There was a hint that Ben Lord was going to do this as a Luego part in the near future?...

I was wondering if one of these would fit my Avon, which is only approx 40" max across the bottom of the scuttle. Anybody know how this compares to a narrow-bodied Westfield (which seller states it can be modified to fit?)

Well, after the seller insisted that this would fit an Avon, I took the plunge and ordered one on Monday and it was delivered yesterday (Friday).
I offered it up to my scuttle and it will fit a treat. (I'm in the middle of painting bodywork at mo' so have put it away for safe keeping. I'll post photos when its fitted.) Its very light and flexible so I reckon it'll fit most scuttles.
In short, Its a fraction of the price of a Westfield one, but quality is still pretty good. It fits and delivery was quick too. So I say go for it.

Basically, yes.
Having done a search under 'aeroscreens', it is identical to the one in the pic below (except it is in fibreglass with a black gelcoat finish)
It'll probably also need an edging strip as in pic.

HTH,
Andy.

Now that I have got through the SVA thought I would get my add on bits and went for one of these ae roscreens

It really is excellent - very flexible so will fit different scuttles well. Really am very impressed....especially for just over 60 quid!
