I picked up an original Brooklands screen, with all the right patina, for under
$150
on ebay last winter. As I understand it, the early Brooklands screens had only
one
"adjuster" wing nut. The later replicas had two. Is that correct? I had been
watching for them on Ebay. Every now and then, one, or a pair show up, but I
havent
seen them sell for anywhere near the prices you quoted. Thats insane. Would
you
have the URL for those auctions by chance?
After having a hassle with the Tech inspectors at the SVRA vintage race at
Watkins
Glen for two years in a row over my lack of a windshield on the Team Thicko
Bugeye,
I figured this would satisfy them and look great on the car. It did both.
