- After trying to find a windscreen frame for my Locost, with no luck. I though why am I cheating on the last hurdle, after making nearly everything else. So after a little homework I had a go. Here's the results.
I laughed when you broke the tool.🤣
Great Great Great...thank you Mr. real Mc Gyver....now I try also to fix it.. Greatings from Hamburg, Germany!
you taught me something!...your frame came out looking great!
thanks for the tip.
I've been racking my brain because i do not want to spend $300 on a frame thats not exactly the way i want. Awesome video. I"ll be making one for my 27 roadster next day.
Great idea, maybe a heavy duty version?? FYI Aluminium like that cools at about 30-50 degrees F per second, so ya might as well just bend it cold.
The Point of heating it is to anneal it so it will bend.
Love the outcome👌🏽 by chance do you have the link for the u channel frame
It was just the smallest U channel I could find on Ebay. 😊
Thanks for the good video. What were the dimensions of the aluminum channel?
Robert Beck 25mmx 25mm U shaped bar. From ebay. Though wish it I had found slightly smaller. 15mmx 25mm would be better to hold the glass.
What did you use for frame material thanks
perfect just what i was looking for.
fascinating solution. any secret as to specs on your homemade bender?
+Ecosse57 Hi. I just followed the rough measurements as in the book. so as long as the wheel follows around the corners of the template with a slight gap for the channel to fit in. only difference I would make would not to used a wooden lever again ;-)

thank you. i suppose i should purchase the locost book. frankly i think you did a fine job but perhaps a better quality of wood next time?
Interesting, did you make that bender yourself?
Sailing High Seas - Norfolk Broads. Yes. I used the design from the book
fascinating
that's not easy without cutouts on curves well done
Low cost
"Locost" is a CAR....
