Douglas,
Horst Schach's restoration manual explains in several pages the process of
assembling the windshield, with very useful hints. I recommend that you
obtain the book. Alternatively, I might send you more information.
I assembled my windshield one year ago and did the job completely alone, but
had to resort to black silicone instead of the rubber seal (as Charles
explained). I fond also some mismatching points between bolts and
corresponding holes.
Regards.

Asunto: TD Windscreen assembly
Giday T people
Having a few windscreen assembly and attachment problems. First attempt did
not go too well.
I am at the dechromed brass - no glass stage, but need to fit it so the trim
guy can make and fit the hood. First problem was the side supports did not
match each other and the stud hole threads were pretty badly damaged so I
have ordered new side supports and studs from Brown and Gammons rather than
try and get them fixed. Then discovered the heavy scuttle brackets had
different shapes - one has been broken and repaired and the profile was all
wrong - am getting that put back into the correct shape. Screen was also
damaged and that has been repaired and reassembled - not getting the miters
quite right though.
So my question is has there been a treatise on the reassembly of the TD
screen published - order, process of assembly and adjustment, that sort of
thing?
All and any advice gratefully received.
Cheers
Douglas
