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.

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 .

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

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)
