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!

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?
