what so ever. Everything fitted and torqued up nicely. Even the brake
fitting lined up well and tightened into the calipers with no trouble.
I knew I was in for a surprise somewhere and the windscreen was it.
Thanks to everyone on BlatChat, I've since learned that in the UK the
chassis is delivered with the windshield installed. That's why there is
no mention of it in the build manual. None, Zip, Zero, Nodda...
I pulled every book and photo I could get from my binders full of
other peoples builds. I looked, studied and stared at all of them for
alignment help and weather strip help. To be fair, this is really pretty
straight forward. But I wanted to keep from scaring the nice shinny
ali scuttle by using my "three times is enough" technique I've work so
hard to refine over these past weekends.
When I started the fitting I had a difference of more than 3/8 of an
inch in the gap between the right and left side of the bottom of the
windscreen and the scuttle. When done Dremling, pushing, bolting
and cinching up the shorts, the windscreen frame hits the rubber
grommet on the righthand side and has a gap on the left. The frame
across the scuttle is as tight and even as it's ever going to be. Job
Done. A great big Thank You to all those who helped on BlatChat.
Knowing that over 150 people viewed my question means that I was
being well watched over and the guidance given was first rate.
Thanks again.
