Some interesting replies. It seems there is more than one way to skin a cat.
Does anyone know where to get 5/16ths by 1/8th thick rubber strip for the
bottom of the chrome channels?? Roger Moment mentions this in his restoration
series.? See the accompanying PDF.

It's been a while since we did ours but, like Michael says it's pretty
straightforward.? You fit the glazing seal to the glass, the bottom should be
one-piece and U-shaped, and the top is a separate piece.? We didn't have any
trouble with the seal we got from Moss; it's wider than you need but you trim
the excess at a 45-deg angle from the frame pieces to the glass (be careful not
to score the glass).? The top seal and the top of the 'U' should be cut at
45-deg angles to each other at the corners as well.?
I wrote Fourintune (Kay?) to ask for their secret but, for some reason, their
replies didn't come through and she gave up after a couple tries (maybe it's
one of those ancient, mythical things that should never be revealed).? You
could write them and try again, and if you do get a reply please let us all
know (and I hope we don't all die under mysterious circumstances shortly
thereafter). Happy New Year All! Bob

It is pretty straight forward Michael however I have had difficulty finding
the correct thickness of Everseal glazing strip. The other trick is to ensure
that you replace the series of little wooden blocks top and bottom? between the
seal and the frame? because if you omit them the top bow will never meet the
frame in the center.
Don't ask me how I know :-)

I now have my windscreen pieces re-chromed, a new Triplex piece of glass and
the rubber glazing.? Is there any tutorial on how to put the windscreen
together correctly, video or otherwise? Mike MacLean
