                Seems to me there was a chalk seal between the gasket =
and the dash pad, body metal

I used Mortite, Weatherstrip and Caulking cord =E2=80=93 it seemed =
similar to what I saw there upon removal.

Its been way to long to remember any other details of this assembly.

Hope others have more details for you.

Subject: [Tigers] Windshield/Dash top frustration

=20

I'm trying to fit a new dash top and all new windshield rubber.  The =
dash top is in, and I just tried a trial fit of the windshield frame =
with the gasket in place.  It appears that there will be a gap between =
the gasket and the car body, even when everything is tightened down.  =
The gasket and dash pad are from SS.  So, the questions:

=20

Should the windshield frame be sitting on top of the SS dash pad?  It is =
is thicker at the front than the original that I removed.=20

=20

 Has anyone cut the SS dash top back so that the windshield frame gasket =
sits directly on the body?

=20

And the ends of the dash top seem too thick, also holding the windshield =
frame up..  Has anyone done some mods to this area?

=20

Hopes of getting the car ready for British Car Day next weekend seem to =
be dimming.

=20

Or am I just missing something obvious?

=20

Stu
