[Healeys] BN4 Windscreen fitting

[Alan Bromfield]

Thanks Team for the answers received and guidance provided on this topic.

The response that captured the dilemma perfectly came from Andrea
Villa in Italy (Mille grazie Andrea) in which she gave me a link to
the Linwood Rose restoration blog.

At Week 57 Lin says "........consulting with the experts resulted in
at least three ways to do this job: under the pad, between the pad and
the post, and cut off flush with the pad.".
So I figured it was time to work it out for myself. I had already
tried the method of trimming the rubber close to the pillar which I
guess is Lin's option 3. That left an obvious butt joint to the pillar
which would need mastic to seal it. So I removed the screen and
scrapped the rubber seal, which was covered in mastic and cut too
short, ready to try again. That prompted my first query to the forum
for advice.

I have spent the day sorting it out and come up with a solution that
is much more satisfactory than my first attempt and looks pretty good.
I have documented the approach with pictures on the forum at:

My next question to the list on this subject however -  Is this how it
should look?

Does anyone have a BN4 through BT7 with original screen fitment that
can comment on whether I've got it right?

Many thanks.......
