Weekend Warrior Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Just bought one of these from another member anyone got ant pictures of what they look like fitted ,a couple of close ups of the pillars and windscreen fillet would be useful,so I can see how they sit .Do you fix the Perspex to the pillars Thanks in advance .

Weekend Warrior Posted November 15, 2017 Author Posted November 15, 2017 Come on guys someone must be able to help,,the windscreen fillet is not long enough why ? can I buy a longer one and cut it back ? Any ideas . Quote
Olliebeak Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 I have a fillet like this the previous owner had cut off the rebates that fit under the screen supports, it looks like the fillet in your photo. Hope this helps Quote
Mark (smokey mow) Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Where did you get the fillet from? It could be for a narrow body. Quote
Weekend Warrior Posted November 15, 2017 Author Posted November 15, 2017 Thanks for the reply Ollie ,the fillet worked fine with the full windscreen and pillars so can't understand why not now . You don't know what size the widebodied one should be per chance that way I would know if it's been shortened ? Quote
TAFKARM Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Mine went straight on and a wide body fillet fitted perfectly... Quote
Weekend Warrior Posted November 15, 2017 Author Posted November 15, 2017 You havnt got a picture of yours by any chance Russ ,to compare the 2 there's something amiss Quote
TAFKARM Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 I'll take some tomorrow for you, I'm in my PJs now 1 Quote
Kit Car Electronics and Essex AO Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 My uprights look trimmed more generously than yours, Steve Quote
TAFKARM Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Agreed, I'm pretty sure mine are the same as Mikes. Ive got a couple of spares.... Quote

Weekend Warrior Posted November 16, 2017 Author Posted November 16, 2017 Thanks Russ , Been offered a full refund by seller ,decent chap , Ive also managed to get hold of another pair so all is well Is the screen fixed to the pillars by the 2 fixings that can be seen Steve Quote
TAFKARM Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 No, there isn't an angle bracket that holds it on the back. the two you can see are rubber to stop my fillet rattling. Quote
Weekend Warrior Posted November 16, 2017 Author Posted November 16, 2017 Just a thought ,tell me what you think ! Ive been doing a bit of reasearch on the uprights, by way if reading old threads ,it appears that they made 2 versions.One was for the cars with the steel windscreen uprights ,the other for the ones using metro style mirrors which I have .Would the scuttle types would be different if so perhaps they've not been trimmed but are for a different car,after all why would anyone want to alter them ?
