John,

Thread size for the Brooklands Aero screen mounts is 5/16-24.  This was a
special bolt in that the head was taller and it was chrome plated,
p/n:602078, with a chrome washer as well p/n:602077.  For a while, when I
had mis-placed these four bolts for my car, I ground off the markings from a
standard bolt and polished it up to a nice shine and it looked acceptable.

According to the parts catalog, these were discontinued after TS-32833.

I will attempt the fit this weekend, I had some joy screwing in a spare No10
screw and both holes loosened up a little, I would like to get my tap in to
clear threads properly. Carl's idea of sliding the screen forward rather
than removing appeals, thinking about it, if removed you would have the
wiper spindles on one side and the mirror on the other, it may become quite
tricky to manipulate the screen back into position between them, even just
sliding the screen forward, as an extra precaution I will tape the paintwork
around the bottom of the screen arms.
Anybody know the thread size of the chrome screws that blank off the racing
screen mounts??
Regards
John
