Thanks Dinty,
What we lack in skills and experience we make up in determination and bloody-mindedness.
Cheers,
Andrew

They might be suitable, but look expensive. We will make our own I think.

Default Beautiful replicas.......

But ......... how practical-useful are they on a LRDG travelling at 25 mph in loose sand/gravel????

Would they actually divert the air flow away from the driver's face??? or is it just another British tradition like the open "C" cabs with a waist high canvass wrap around for the driver's compartment.

They do look pretty!!!!!

Hi Bob,
We don't expect them to be very practical or useful, but will install them anyway, to be as authentic as possible. I have already driven our truck at 100km/hour without any protection at all, and at that speed you certainly need something between your face and a bumble bee!
