Hey how about getting Zack's brother to machine these for us, cutting
the plexi is a no brainer.

Deems, yes, that's one of the 2 options I was working with Rosen
on. The tube is about .895 diameter, and they don't have any
clamps of that size made yet. The bar is set a couple inches
back from the windshield, so it would need to have a T shape
behind the clamp, with the visors attached forward of the bar,
and when they swing up they'd have to be of the right size to clear
the door and side windows. That's the arrangement I have been
working with them on, but everything halted with their busy
contracts. The 2nd option I gave them was a screw in hinge
that would mount to the canopy top just behind the windshield
on that foam filled ridge. That would work too, but wouldn't
be swing able. FWIW, I don't think it's necessary to have them
swing to the side...if it were just available forward that
would be good.
Wayne, who's the guy you've been talking to? I've been
talking to Mike Fiske, and he's in direct communication
with the engineering team too. He also worked the booth
at SNF and OSH, but that was after I had already tracked
him down that I saw him there. I sure wish they had the
time. They did say though that if we were to come up with
everything, cutting the actual visors wouldn't be a big
problem.
