Ok after 4 years of complete restoration of my SII I am down to the
finishing touches. I started on the daunting task of putting the new
windscreen in the newly cromed frame only to discover the glass is the
wrong size!!! The glass was too small
Does anyone know if the latter series glass was smaller ? have I been
duped by my supplier? Does anyone one want to trade?
Help!

***** NOTES from Jay Laifman (JLAIFMAN (at) PNM) at 9/27/96 9:17a
I don't know what you mean by too small, and I don't know if there was a
different size glass, but I do know that when I bought a new glass for my
Series V I found that the glass is a little bit thinner than original
which causes the rubber and the stainless pieces not to fit exactly the
same. I was told that all Sunbeam glass is now being made out of the same
factory in South Africa (if I recall correctly) and that all are a little
thinner than stock. I ended up having to shave a little off of each of
the end pieces of the stainless to get everything to fit back together
correctly.
