-------------23C here today and 16 now at midnight--been rebuilding my trailer, what a job/mess, thought all it needed was new floor boards but the frame had rusted out--bloody salt air. Anyway heaps of new steel and a new alloy checkerplate deck--mudguards tomorrow and we're back in business------i'm over it, what i thought was going to be a day's work has cost me a week already |

I've noticed a tail off in BBS posts recently. Is the cold weather keeping us all in doors? |

Hi there,

The screen frame bolts go through over-sized holes in the body so there is quite a lot of scope for sliding the whole screen back and fore and tilting it, when all four are slack and the centre bar is loose. Marks in the paint with the original seal should give you the fore and aft position. The quarter-light should barely touch the seal on the screen frame uprights, not compress it, or you can ... |

My enquiries to the companies that Roger suggested didn't turn up any useful information and the person selling the nicely restored hardtop on ebay is a used car dealer who separated it from a car he sold.
