[Spridgets] Bugeye Windscreen Replacement

[dwoerpel]

Jim is correct.  We found that the strip that fits in the groove to lock 
the rubber seal in was not the correct size.  The seal itself did not 
fit into the corners of the windscreen very well either.  See picture.  
Let us know who has the correct size rubber pieces!!!

BTW, the proper procedure for compressing the front springs so one can 
fasten the top trunnion bolts is to use Jim Johnson (2nd picture).  ;-)
