Hi Chris and Austin
I made the screen quite high and just low enough to look over. I think I will use the plexiglass to start with. I can then experiment when the car is on the road before getting some glass cut.
On a separate note I’ve spent the morning cutting valve seats. So what, the experienced engine builders might say. However I used a “very” cheap cutting set (£26 off eBay and instructions in Chinese). I was a bit wary and had to machine a long bush as the mandrel that came with the kit was too narrow for the valve guides. The set also came with grindstones that finish the seats off nicely. Just needs a very light lap now.
Cheers
Howard
