[Mg-mmm] PA side curtains

[DB35PA at aol.com]

Lawrie, 
GOOD question... I've been dealing with the same issue. I had locals who  
made my top and side curtains, also make me a fitted padded/divided big bag  
to prevent damage and keep plexi from becoming scratched.... like the  
T-tops bag for my long lost ZX 300 Turbo.
However, at 6'4", I have the seat as far back as I can get it for leg  
room, leaving NO space for curtains. As you know, resting them on the package  
shelf, they stick up like a drag chute and my car does not need that! 
Padded bag makes a nice addition  to garage decor however.

Hi  Lawrie,

There was a large bottomless black PVC envelope tacked on the  seatback. 
This
held the sidescreens tightly against the  seat.

Hi, fellow  MMMers!

My PA is on the road again! The custom composition head gasket  I had made 
in

Thailand is working so much better than the solid copper  one and the car 
seems, finally, to be driving nicely. Jim Silva has made  me a beautiful 
new 
top, tonneau cover and side curtain set so all that  remains to complete 
the 
car is to install the central lubrication system  (scheduled to be done in 
the near future).

A question has arisen,  however, that I need advice on from other 2-seater 
PA

owners: where  does one stow the side curtains when they are not mounted on 
the doors?  The obvious answer seems to be "on a shelf in one's garage" as 
there is no  room for them to fit tidily behind the seats! This approach 
does

rather  negate the purpose of having side curtains if there's a likelihood  
of

rain when driving the car, so I'd be interested to hear what other  owners 
do

with theirs.

TIA,

Lawrie
