I talked to Finish Line today regards their wind wings, hardware https://www.finishlineaccessories.com/p-328-wind-wings-hardware.aspx , and return policy.
Theirs are designed to fit on the outside of the windshield on a Cobra kit (or otherwise) car, by replacing the screen to pillar screws that mount the windshield frame to the windshield pillars and securing the tabs to the frame with the longer screws. I'm thinking that they could work in the Spridget world, but the mounting screws might not match exactly due to threads, lengths, and diameter - something for someone else to chase and advise the rest of us cheap, non-adventurous types.
Basically, if you decide to buy the hardware to see if it'll work and then want to return it, there's no problems if you haven't damaged the packaging but it does cause them problems otherwise (my words, not the exact words that the very approachable gentleman who answered the phone said, so any miscommunication is my error).
He also commented that they supply their windscreen hardware for the Meyers Manx dune buggy. We have a Manx clone using the same style of windscreen but I'm not sure how the Front Line hardware would be integrated into this style of windscreen and can't tell from the Manx photos.
Jeff and I were BS'ing today regards what would be involved in fabricating an aluminum piece that could be tightened to the windshield pillar side curtain flange and be compatible with existing wind wing hardware, but that's for the distant future. Doug
