Sports screens - fit Avon?

Do you happen to know if the new sports screens (as advertised in the special offers section) will fit an Avon ?

Cheers

Lets have a look at your scuttle (fnar fnar) looking front to rear and we'll be able to tell you (hopefully)

I assume you mean the clear or smoked std screen as opposed to the new carbon aeroscreen.

Might be worth a call to Mark or Colin. I would have thought if the width is OK then the only other consideration is the curve around top of scuttle which is reworkable.

I have this screen on my Mac#1 and find it very good. It does a good job of directing the air flow away from driver.

I think the mac 1 screen is the best looking screen on the market

Well done scoobylav.


Image deleted by owner

From looking at that picture it looks as though there is a slight curve to the tiger scuttle similar to the MAC#1 scuttle, so from that point of view i'd say yes it will fit. It will need trimming to be a perfect match for the curvature but hey.

HOWEVER there doesnt seem to be anything to mount it to so youll need to think about mounting first. The MAC#1 scuttle has a lip which gets drilled through to mount the scuttle on.

You drill through the screen and through the lip on the scuttle and then secure with bolts. I put some foam tape along the scuttle too (as reccomended by the factory) to prevent any squeeks
