Oscar my man you finally did it! Dude I really hope this is the one and it works for you. John is really good people. You gotta post results once you get it delivered and installed. I'm still stuck with my HD 14" Windsplitter. Can't sell it b/c they don't make the brackets separately anymore. I do love my 20" Freedom Windsplitter though.

Thanks Vince! We went from “I do not make vented shields” to this. It was awesome of him to work with me on this option. Really hope it’ll work this time.
