Windscreen & Column Support Bar

Time to fit the windscreen again - all lined up, column support bar fitted and the top fixings bolted up - I then discovered I need some longer bolts for the new bottom fixings!The column support bar was then fixed to the tunnel using jack-nuts installed into the tunnel top (cutting out an appropriate disc of carpet) you will need two or three penny washers between the bar brackets and the carpet:Next up was to drill the support bar and install a couple of M6 rivnuts to support the adjustable pedal box:I made a start on tidying the loom up and stuck the remainder of the tunnel carpet down in the passenger footwell. Last job was to refit the front lights after having removed them to polish the body:Next job on the windscreen is to remove the screen from the stanchions so that the gap around the stanchion can be sealed, the escutcheon plates fitted and the screen centre stay and bracket fitted....... but this will have to wait until I've got some longer bolts to fully fix the stanchions.

Looking good!

Just one question. Why did you not opt for the dash support bar as well? This enable you to fit ally panels for the vent holes.

Hi Steve,

I have got the dash support bar and the ally panels.... watch this space.... comming shortly!

I hadn't fitted the front bar yet as it was going to get in the way of what I've just been doing.

Cheers,

Simon
