When the hood was going to be fitted I purchased some short thread Tenax pegs for the windscreen but noted some of them wouldn’t fit as the threads were actually too short. On this basis I tried the longer pegs and found the fitted without touching the glass.
All well and good I thought but it appears this was because the spacer blocks at the bottom of the windscreen were missing allowing the windscreen to drop. This meant the windscreen rubber was loose and dropped out into view.
The windscreen assembly has now been completely stripped and the spacer blocks replaced along with the correct thread Tenax. It appears the stanchions have been replaced at some point as they don’t have matching numbers but as these are no longer available they will have to remain.
The left hand stanchion is slightly bent due to Fat American Man using the windscreen to pull himself out of the car. We’ll try to bend this back without damaging it.
