I really want to get a set of side windsheild wings. I saw these at a show a few years back and wish I had the DB then. I really like the look. I found 1 source for these and they wanted almost $250 for them. Any ideas???

I have an original wind wing from the 60's that I can trace and send to you as a template to make your own out of Lexan or a similar material. My friend's father had a small side business building Kellison buggies back in the late 60's...this is where I got the ( cracked in half ) wind wing from. Let me know if you'd like to go that route.

Genom,
That would be great. How did he attach the wings to the buggy?

I'm not sure what hardware he used to attach them...but I think the 'hinge' that is used on the wind wings that you buy these days is available...either from Berrien Buggies or from shops that restore European cars of the 60's, since alot of them had wind wings. Email me privately and I'll mail you a full size template.
