Hmmm. That's an important point. As I recollect, my frame is bolted to
the body side mounts by four or six hex head bolts. It'd take about five
mins. to remove it, I recon. The next question would be the mounting of
the brooklands. Does anyone out there have the brooklands screen mounted
on their scuttle (is that the right word?)??? How much space is needed to
mount the posts for the brooklands? Isn't the brooklands glass attached to
posts with wing nuts? Can the glass be removed when the full windshield is
up?
Or, am I thinking about this too much? :-/ Probably what I need most is
just a great afternoon drive on a warm/dry/sunny day. Right. When will
that ever come?
