Last Wind Deflector Brackets being sold

Post by spidernut »

My last shipment of brackets for the Raceland wind deflector have arrived. Most of them were shipped to people who pre-ordered them. However, I have 8 sets left and I have no plans to produce any more. If you want to order them you can find them at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/FiatAccessories

specs on windscreen on the website do not show measurements that I can see .... but if the width distance at the bottom of each screen are all the same then yes they would fit

They fit all styles of the Miata screens. I only have one left on the site for sale. The other 7 have already sold since I posted the message. All purchases had to be made directly through the website....sorry.

Thanks John! My set arrived safely and look great. Now if Raceland will ever ship my 8 weeks backordered screen I'll be in business.

I think the sudden rush of orders caused by the bracket sales caught them off guard. Do you know if they were back ordered on one or all three styles of wind deflector?

The 2 Raceland wind blockers (straight across the top style) I had on back order were shipped today. So I think they are catching up.

If they had the same problems with suppliers that I had, it is no surprise that it took longer than expected. At least they're on their way...Hooray!

i had ordered mine from raceland a while ago and checked a few weeks back and they said a new batch wa sbeing produced and it would ship soon. when i called them last week they told me it had been delayed again due to some parts being unavailable. they offered to cancel my order. just happy to be getting it soon.
