Thanks for the complement.

Let me state one more time, i'm not just going to rotate the center arm up to sweep the full with of the windshield, i'm going to modify the linkages under the cowel so it weeps the full width and stops as low as i can get it to the bottom of the windshield.

Sales are slow at the moment so after i get my air\oil seperator installed and tested i'll be workig on this and a Mirko repair i've been meaning to finish.

S'alright. I got my own answer. I just couldn't see your original post when I was writing mine. Too lazy/tired at the time to edit.

All sounds good, except... I'm never sure about people painting the black parts to match the body. I've seen the sail panels and the mirror bases painted this way, and I didn't care for it. Messes up the lines, IMHO. I'm afraid the cowl will do the same, unless, of course, your car is Black. I'm not sure about filling the fake vent slots, either. There will still be slots on the other side, but now they'll be hanging out there by themselves... Plans?

Just rambling, here.
