Making an aeroscreen
Hey Guys, I am making an aeroscreen for my locost in locost style (swimbo wont ride in it coz of too much wind) Anyway I am trying to make one that is
like a tiny windscreen angled at about 45 deg onto the scuttle, and I would like some thoughts as how to mount it into place.
So far I have come up with some brackets bent at 45 deg with bolts in them for the aeroscren and into the scuttle. Any other mounting ideas please?

mine came fitted with a low screen; fitted by having a slot in the scuttle and attached to blocks of wood!
I changed into two individual screen and made a fibre glass support on the underside. The screen slots in and hled by a pair of bolts.
The top has an aluminium cover - see below.
The screen themselves are rock solid.
