Adge Cutler- Dorset AO 1,272 Posted March 17 My humble suggestion would be to fit hinges on the sidescreens, and slot them on (both sides!). Make sure that the screen is low enough at the rear, to prevent it sliding over the top towards the cockpit, if that makes any sense? if it's too high it will be blown inwards, tap you on the shoulder, and mark the curved return of the side panel when you get up to speed! Sidescreeen inner frames are predrilled for hinge bolts (usually!) just got find them using your fingers and a pin! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine was very tight as you don't realise at this stage, you could put a packer under to ensure a gap, the tendency is to get the Supports to fit the bodywork but then they can sometimes be at the wrong height.

MrMgoo 139 Posted March 23 Boot fitted using 4 rubber rivnuts. As there wasn't much to drill into I made the holes a bit smaller and had to force the top rubber through the hole underneath .. hope that makes sense 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrMgoo 139 Posted April 1 Fitting the fillet (I think it's called) but I seem to have some large gaps between the skuttle and the fillet and also the windsreen and the fillet? is is this OK for IVA? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrMgoo 139 Posted April 1 Put the wiper boss on and I wouldn't expect to see this gap either on the passenger side?!? Drivers side looks ok Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps the rubber underneath the fillet is too tall, this will give you the gap under the fillet + spindle gap. Just be careful the rubber pieces haven't twisted round as you've tightened everything up. Its a good idea IMO to find something to use hose etc to get the length right before cutting .

Least of my worries now. Put the wipers on to see how they returned onto the fillet ... they went in the opposite direction so it looks like the dashboard and possibly the skuttle coming off to fix the wiper motor.

Adge Cutler- Dorset AO 1,272 Posted April 1 If you've got to furkle about under the scuttle to change the handing of the wipers, you might consider packing the nearside wiper box off the scuttle to reduce the amount protruding through the fillet IYSWIM. Fllet gaps wont matter for IVA, but would recommend sealing with silicone on final fit, to help keep your feet dry 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
