I saw this posting on the mg list.  I don't know if this could be applied
to a spridget.  It is worth a look and consideration.  YMMV.  My apologies
to Lee for reproducing this without his permission.

I installed my 'B windshield the other day and used the C-clamp compression 
method recently discussed here.

I took some digital pix of the process, and have posted them on the web.
Go to
         http://acs.tamu.edu/~lmd1191

and click on the *picture* of the MGB (*not* on the "MGB" link).  I think 
these photos will make the recent description of the process much clearer.
