Orris (from Germany) is the manufacturer of the wind deflector as used on most
high line European cars.  Orris also (or at least intended to) sell after-market
kits for various car lines such as Miata, Camero,Mustang,etc.  I got a sample
kit that was used for installation trials on Miatas (my former employer - ASC
was to be involved in distributing the line in the US - I do not know if this
ever came about).

For my Spit bodied GT-6  I made custom tube receivers that I attached to the
topstack main pivot bracket and made new rods for the wind deflector to mount
into the new receivers (hardware intended for the Miata obviously would not
fit).  I am happy with the results.  My top down threshold has been lowered from
57 deg F to 45 deg F (with a fleece jacket and the heater on).   Unfortunately
it snowed here Sun night and they salted the roads yesterday morning so unless
we get a significant rain real soon to wash down the roads, my Triumph season
looks to be over.
