this is the one from the previous photo, its fitted to mine as i do more miles than bluffin. ive done around 1000miles since fitting it, it wasn't cleaned for the photo and its done with a mobile phone so not great photos. it also doesn't rattle like my orginal rover shield

sorry have not looked into fittings yet and by fittings do you mean brackets that go on the engine and the little clip things?

I am looking into making the top brackets but will not be very soon as I still need to manufacture some, was thinking of making them in Aluminium and Mirror Stainless.

The fitting kit must be available somewhere.........found the clips ;D

I have enough interest to buy some material and make some now should be available in a week (all being well) I will try and sort a means of payment probably paypal but I hate the amount they charge and a way of posting them without them getting damaged.

You have to bear in mind I am not a business I am doing this because it's a nice thing to share what I can do and get done ;D

£20 + delivery will give you the shield only and thats an intro price I am sure they will have to go up as I will not be making much money on the 1st batch at all.
I am looking into re-manufacturing the top brackets and maybe the bottom one but not sure if I would have much interest in them.

The clips for fitting to the brackets are available from Mini Spares and PL mini


cheers

Are you going to email people when they are ready, or would you like people to PM/email you with a request for one?
