My club rules say the following concerning windshields:

3.2.10.3. A transparent windscreen capable of deflecting debris away from the driver, is required.

In my club like most others you need to have some type of windscreen, which is a good idea no matter how small to deflect tire rubber, stones, oil and smoke, and parts that come flying off the car(s) in front of you.  Some of you guys that have been hit in your visor by track debris know what I am talking about.  The little Brooklands screen that they (moss and others) sell will work on the TR3 and is what I use. But I changes the mounting brackets so it is more in line with the direction of the wind and impact. If you are concerned about drilling holes in your TR3 like I was, drill them just below where the lower rubber weatherstrip on the stock windshield would rest on the scuttle. They will be hidden if you convert your car back to road use. Sitting low in the car also help protect the driver.

There are brooklands screens available, but they are mostly for looks, they don’t do much. I’ve seen stock windscreens cut down to about half height with lexan in place of the glass. But simply removing the screen entirely is the simplest and probably best option.

I'm trying to help out someone who is not on FOT, and I'm not a TR3 guy.  Any sources and options for a racing style TR3 windscreen?
I'm not sure what style he is interested in.   I thought you guys just removed them entirely?
