Windsceen - 2

What a difference that makes!.... Looking like a car now (if you ignore the lack of wheels and wooden prop!):The screen is not fixed in place yet as this is just a first fix to enable the wiper spindles to be marked out. I found it easy enough to do single handedly - although things were made easier by my prop - cobbled up out of the scrap bin:The important dimension here is 930mm from the rear scuttle roll to the top of the screen. The other important dimension is 6mm - this is the thickness of this pack of washers wrapped in tape and placed under the bottom of the screen:Just the top bolts were fitted at this stage - enough to keep the screen in place and stable:The screen fits nicely - the rubber at the bottom of the screen is a good fit to the scuttle and the screen was only 2mm out of square - measured from the back of the door openings to the screen corners at both sides. This will be rectified at the final fit - If I decide that it is not close enough!

Now the real reason for needing the screen was to do this: .... Marking out for the washer spindles. The centres are 415mm from the edges of the screen pillars and the edge of the mounting rubber is 5mm from the edge of the windscreen rubber. So tomorrows job will be to remove the screen and put is somewhere safe - probably in the spare bedroom with the seats, carpets etc.... lets hope we don't have any visitors that want to stay! Then the spindle holes can be cut out and the final cleaning up of the body started as there will be no more drilling and filing of fibreglass (fingers crossed).
