A-Pillar Wind deflectors

[LateApex]

You know, when it gets close to triple digit temperatures, thoughts of my Daytona drift to the long list of little mods that have bouncing around in my head ...

One such mod (maybe related to the high temps of Summer) is to affix some A-pillar wind deflectors. These, as you may know, appeared on some of the original Coupes to a) help with cabin temperature and b) direct air to the rear brake scoops.

Does anyone have a lead on either parts or decent pictures of that design? Ideally, such a deflector is adjustable with a cam or some similar device, and is not "flush" mounted with the windscreen as is the design point for Roadster "wind screens". I'd like to help push a bit more air in through the side window, similar to what I do by dangling my hand on the door lip near the rear view mirror.

Thanx in advance for any leads ...

I don't have a lead per say, but if you pursue this path make sure the air has somewhere to leave the cockpit. The original cars also had a vent in the rear spoiler to allow air to escape. It doesn't have to be that, but worth a ponder on some exit solution.

Check Russ Thompsons website. He had them for sale, and there are pics of his design. Obviously not for sale anymore, but you might be able to fab up something close

Search "daytona coupe" videos on u-tube. You should find pictures/videos. Also check https://www.motorbiscuit.com/will-this-shelby-daytona-cobra-break-the-most-ever-70-million-price/ Not the most detailed pic but should give you an idea of the original.

Good comment!

I have had an interesting discussion recently with Peter Brock on exactly this topic of how to best get air out of the cabin. As I get closer to that design, I'll post those details.

Thanks Rian. That is a good photo. See: http://www.norcal-cobras.com/store/russ_garage/t65/t65wps_installed.html. This one doesn't adjust, but maybe I can figure out a way to mount a trim tab.

Thank you for the link to the original design!!
