Brakes

Had a bit of time to kill so finished fitting the two brake pipes on the master cylinders bit more tricky than I thought as the pipe is too long to fasten to either end until it is bent but didn't know were to bend it until I could get it in .found the easiest way was to screw the pipe into the cylinder first and bend to suit as the cylinder thread is quite fine and easy to cross thread
another job ticked off

Note the brake pipes don't fit on the end like the clutch

Windscreen 2

After feeling elated for getting the windscreen fitted and then subsequently removing it leaving the end posts ,discovered that I needed to fit the centre stay as more often than not it doesn't fit and the windscreen needs adjusting again to suit
Fitted the centre stay to the windscreen (while off the car ) making sure to use the screws provided so not to damage the glass

Bracket fitted on Kitchen table( Mrs not happy)
 

Offered up the windscreen back on to the car and to my surprise and relief it fits and needs no adjustment ,so back off again

Windscreen

Tackled the windscreen today as Steve came round and was willing to help .

Trial fitted the windscreen only to find the holes needed a bit of fettling , once the windscreen would slide in and out the stanchions were removed from the screen by undoing the four fixing screws on either side.
 The stanchions were then drilled 8 mm at the pilot holes ignoring the top hole. It is brass so grabs a bit but a bit of grease sorted that out .I used a countersink on both sides of the hole to take any burs off .
The drilled stanchions were then re-attached to the screen and the screen put in place. The screen position was checked as per the manual which is :-

The screen should be about 6mm off the scuttle at the outer edges and the top should be 930mm from the rear of the cockpit roll to the inside of the screen.


Windscreen temp fitted -looks like a car now

Mine was bang on which meant I didn't have to mess about with altering any holes .
Then had to check that the screen was square in the car by checking the measurements from the windscreen top screw each side  to the back of the door opening again bang on well pleased .



Steve smiling ready to fit the dash stays ( the smile wont last long !!)

 Next came the  under dash cross bars these "just "fit to the same holes as the windscreen ! .

however, because the stations seemed to be a little narrower than the car and looking at other blogs we put a washer on each side between the car and the windscreen station to stop any stress .
trying to line up the two cross beams .the windscreen and without the washers falling out needs 6 hands when only 3 can get in .
All sorted eventually  ( learnt some new swear words )and then realising that the bottom cross member has two  rivnuts needing fitting to bolt it  to transmission tunnel !! so all out  again



Cross member fitted for the second time showing the rivnuts to secure the bar when the carpet is fitted  



Other side showing brackets for the centre dash

Finally all fitted check again for square and the correct measurements before marking were the Wipers were going to go. The screen can be removed  after a quick picture (long day but a real sense of achievement  Thanks Steve)
