Bit more work but better finish   https://www.wish.com/product/5d85ef2d3a60f70fda266b58?hide_login_modal=true&from_ad=goog_shopping&_display_country_code=IE&_force_currency_code=EUR&pid=googleadwords_int&c=%7BcampaignId%7D&ad_cid=5d85ef2d3a60f70fda266b58&ad_cc=IE&ad_curr=EUR&ad_price=14.00&campaign_id=95

Too much work for my liking but would deffo work, I'd be a bit concerned if Ken thinks a standard handsaw will do the trick, not a hope!
I was kinda thinking that too Roy, but that is what yer-man-o in Blarney Trading told me.
My preference would have been fer a standard Hacksaw and used easily and carefully,
and sanding off the cut edges by hand with sand paper.

Drilling to be done with the smallest possible drill bit, then widen the hole with a bigger drill bit fer the cable ties.

I have a contact in Engineers Ireland, anyone want to run their ideas by them?

Im sure your engineer friend will tell you that certification of any screen would cost tens of thousands of Euro in tests and conformance certs .I posted what Paddy from Axa replied to me .I have no idea who Paddy is no second name and E mail not on headed notepaper just a reply attached to my original question .
He'll probably say " Let the guys who are botching screens at the moment work away, it'll make for plenty of rank spaces in the future". 8)

Am I to believe that the two most outspoken posters against drivers working intend returning at some stage without any form of protection against the virus?
They like Trump must believe it will disappear

When I choose to return, I'll have a free now screen and face masks if necessary .
But only when it's deemed safe.
I certainly won't be installing a botch.

A little bit messy

Held on with clamps to headrest

Fairly well sealed all round:


hung off coat hangers, keeping it tight


Held firm to seat at rear pockets giving full leg room


Fuck it'll do grand

This crowd just outside of Ballincollig in Cork called Blarney Trading do plastic sheeting
.
I measured my cab and it is about 1.5 meters from window to window and approx a bit less from roof to floor.

Blarney Trading sell sheets of hard plastic which measure 1.8 meters by 1.2 meters and are 2.5mm thick (which is a Tenth of an Inch or a quarter of a centimeter) and cost 55 Notes.

Yer-man-o on the phone told me that it would be perfect fer a Taxi screen and that I could drill holes into it to fit cable ties to hold it on to the headrests but warned me Not to use a Jigsaw to cut it as it could be brittle and crack if heavy machinery was used on it, he said a simple handsaw would cut it easily.
Yer-man-o would tell you anything to get your €55 off ya.
Fools and their money
So what you up to fer making a Crust these days Vik, Working or on the Pox 350 Dole ?
I’m enjoying my paid holidays Belker. Can’t beat sitting at home making €50 a day

Yis should make template for another one in case it gets the first gets damaged.

Also it might help a colleague with the same vehicle.

I was watching Car SOS last night and they made a screen for an old car,they used a heat gun and a fire extinguisher as a tool to shape the screen...thought it would be a handy tip if the polycarbonate needed to be shaped at the back of the seats.
