Here's what I know:
My car is TS22930LO, so has the fittings/mountings for the original-type
aeroscreens. I bought Brooklands aeroscreens (the ones currently available)
but they don't match up to the car's original mountings.
Communication then took place between myself and a real aeroscreen guru
called Tom Maddock (_ukz3man@yahoo.com_ (mailto:ukz3man@yahoo.com) ). Tom
produces conversion kits to make the Brooklands aeroscreen fit the original
mountings. I bought a set from him; they work great. The mounting kit also
includes seals for between the screens and the body that are designed to be
the right height and fill the gap properly.
One thing to bear in mind is that the glass on the original aeroscreens has
quite a bit more surface area than the glass on the Brooklands screens.
The original frames were about the same size as the later ones, but the
original glass widens out to be wider and taller than the later ones, giving a
bit more protection.
I've only just fitted my Brooklands aeroscreens, using Tom's conversion
kits, so I can't tell you if they divert sufficient air flow/rain/bugs/etc. at
speed. They certainly sit lower to the body than intended. To me, that
would not seem to be a problem but, with every conversion kit, Tom provides a
template for the earlier glass to fit the later frame.
Let me know if you need further info.
