Mx5 wind breaker fitting

[Ant2]

I wanted to source a wind breaker for long motorway journeys.

There didn't seem any option but mesh mounted stuff made by softbits.

 

I looked around for alternatives and found the mx5 wind breakers are near on exactly the right size.

That and with the fia roll bar there is already 2 pre drilled convenient holes to mount it too.

 

i removed the mx5 brackets, covers etc and bolts through the roll bar.

 

it works perfect and blocks so much wind, it also doesn't look too weird. I thought I'd share.

The mesh section is also useful for storing keys etc in. I even managed to get small bluetooth speaker in there that is loud enough to actually use.

It's easily mounted and removed with 2 bolts and looks to be able to fit in the boot when not required.

In similar vein I fitted a wind breaker to my Frogeye. Unfortunately, when we get home she complains about the difficulty of getting out of such a low car.
