No moulds no. Cut off the flange and then locate a piece of aluminium to get the same radius or the one you prefer. An then laminate a few layers of GRP (I have between 8 and 12) and make sure to get a good connection to the body. You can remove the aluminium later because the adhesion to it is poor. If the body is mounted on the chassis it's easier to get the radius centered with the wheel. I found out later that my weels were not centered and had to cut off many many hours work and had to redone it :-(

Had to paint some areas where it will be difficult to do that later.

I know, it will get a single racing screen but if I don't drive alone the passenger needs a screen. So I can change the "windshields". I inclined it a bit more :D

To made the change from windshield frame (where the mirror is to located to) to single screen and vice versa easier I made a back plate for the escutcheon cover plate. If I use the single screen I have just to remove the escutcheon plate and bolt on the "mirror plate" which holds the Raydyot replica mirrors already :-)

Mounted a new and a used Holley pump, one as alternative if the number one fails which I have had 2 time a few years ago 200 miles from home :(

Both with filters, shut off valves and third filter before hitting the gas pipe to the front.
