Hi,
I have bought a BT7 at the Historics auction a couple of weeks ago - now I am looking where to store the side windows when they are not is use.
As far as I know there should habe been a bag so that I can put them into the trunk - do you guys know where to get such a bag ?

Regards,
Sebastian
 
Sebastian:

Moss has them. I have a '60 BT-7 and my side screens fit well, except one of twos naps is a bear to get hooked. The irons protrude out of the bag making final closure hard, but doable.

I have the Moss one too; facing the side-curtains inside to inside helps (front brackets criss-crossing each other) but the rear snap is still pretty tight, so I leave it undone most of the time. What would it have hurt to have another 1/4" of material there...?

Thanks Gentlemen !
 
Sebastian,
Pop up to the Midlands and visit AH Spares. I envy you for being able to do that. I deal often with this company and find them very helpfull. Unfortunately I have to conduct the transaction by internet! Being able to do that is great, but dealing face to face is much nicer.
 
I've often wondered: Do the bags have something separating the two side screens? I have the early Longbridge style with much different fixing brackets, and I really don't want them rubbing together and getting scratched. Right now I wrap them in a soft bath towel, but that, of course is not original.
 
I as recall, my original side screen bag had a piece to vinyl material that separated the screens. I was about the same size as the outside dimensions of the bag and created two separate pockets for the windows.
