Thinking about building an Exocet

[davetherave]

Hi all I am thinking about building an Exocet mk2 I spoke to some one today about open top cars and he said you will have loads of flies and road grime hitting you in the face when driving on the public roads is this the case any help on this would be great what it is like to drive. I don't want to be driving with a helmit on unless Im on a track.

Is the wind really bad when taking the car out as I would only be using it in the summer time.

Thanks Dave

Most people fit a fly screen which helps deflect the wind

I was going to keep this a secret until Stoneleigh but.....
Exocet will have a screen option! Pattern now signed off, frame mould progressing. It is similar to the Mevster screen but racked back further and slightly larger.

With an exocet without a screen you need a helmet for any sort of journey tbh.

Thanks all for your help I look fowled to seeing the new screen before I make my decision on building one.

Do you guys drive them on the public roads or just use them for track days.

I'll be pulling the wipers and motor out of the eBay bin then!  Itching to see the new nose too!

Stuart.. what wipers setup used MX5 or VW..

[Stiggy]

I will be using the MX5 wiper motor etc, already wired as part of the harness/stalks and ready to go.

We have made a new bonnet mould for the 2015 onwards Exocet to fit around the screen frame but it will not fit pre 2015 chassis'
