Subject: | RE: Glare Shield Edge |
HI John-
I also used slit 3/8 aluminum tube to edge the glare shield. Given the
dynamics of an impact and Murphy's law, I also used lineman's pliers to
bend the very edge of the glare shield down a bit, and in a fairly
irregular way. This bend is entirely within the Al tube, and is intended
to turn the cutting edge of the glare shield away from the noggin vector
and bias the glare shield to buckle downward rather than standing firm and
acting like a cheese slicer. The tubing itself, painted flat blank like
the rest of the glare shield, is quite unobtrusive. I would like to pad it
and wrap it in a sturdy cloth that would also cover the glare shield (for
thermal as well as aesthetic reasons) but have yet to figure out an
acceptable way to do that.
I'm not aware of any data on commercially available glare shield edging,
but I'm concerned that with crash dynamics at work, the edge of the glare
shield would cleave the synthetic edging quite easily.
Bill, if you really think your shoulder harness is the complete answer to
survivability, look up the video of Wayne Handley's accident in the Turbo
Raven and take a critical look. The typical acro rig includes a five point
harness overlaid with a two point safety harness, yet he ended up with
about three feet between his rear and the seat.

If I was in an accident and went into the instrument panel, the
glare shield would take the top of my head off from just above my eyes.
What have people done about the meat cleaver that the edge of the glare
shield would be in an accident?
