Mag windshield update and upgrade.

Post by Bearbonesnorm »

I've spent some time experimenting with the magnets of the Ti windshilelds and have now sourced some very high quality (read as very expensive) mag tape. I shall now use this rather than seperate magnets, it does up the weight a little but removes any chance of losing a magnet.

If anyone who bought a shield previously would like me to send them some so they can retro-fit it, just email me.

1/ Flick off old magnets with a sharp blade.
2/ Remove any resin from the Ti with medium wire-wool.
3/ Wipe shield down with meths.
4/ Attach strip to INSIDE of windshield and press firmly into position - adhesive will fully cure in 24 hours.

Yes Phil but I've not added them to the shop until new stocks of Ti arrive. However I have some, so if you'd like one, 'tis not a problem.

I've a couple to make for folk.

Hello Stu

Could I have a windshield if you have any left?
How do I pay you if you have any as well?
Thanks
Tim.
