Anyone know of any competition 60/70s TVR with the large rear screen where its been fitted so as to be removable for access, I have a 3000m but its the same screen as used Grantura 1800s, Grifith 400, vixens and Tuscans I believe.

I'm thinking of some kind of aluminium lip that's wider than the opening in the bodywork with a rubber gasket that's held in with several small bolts.

Yes Zappa Racing has done that on his M series Tuscan Replica no idea how well it works

If you find something let me know.
All or some racers still have a rubber seal and aluminium lips.

No that's Mark Zappas car I posted the link to he has created a rear screen mounted rather cleverly to the role cage looks good I quess not that water tight or intended to be as the rear air vents are just holes




The other is a road car and they used external hinges from memory I think the same as we have on our 3000s boots but its a while since I saw the pictures
