Well, I am stuck with a Hodge podge of windscreen parts.  No numbers match, so let the fiddling begin.Mike MacLean

That's why all BN1/2 windscreen assemblies were numbered, both the chrome foot and the corresponding side post should have the same number because they were very much hand fitted from new, and then numbered to keep them together.  They can be made to fit, but sometimes not without quite a bit of fiddling.

The numbers were unique to the windscreens, and the numbers left and right were different but somewhat similar, however they matched top and bottom.  My car has its original windscreen, and is numbered C97 (top and bottom) on the left and C87 (top and bottom) on the right.

Hello Patrick,

… and you even might not be able to exchange one complete windshield from one 100-4 to another too easy. 

When I broke the windshield of my 100 just two days before a classic car rally I asked a friend of mine who had another 100 at that time to borrow that windshield assembly to me we found out that it wasn’t possible to put his windshield to my car without greater adjustments.

Hello

Now being serious.

The difference between the 100 screen and that fitted to the roadster six-cylinder cars is like chalk and cheese.

The only similarity between the two is they are both fitted to an Austin-Healey. Not only is the glass a different shape, cut and curvature, but the screen surrounds are completely different. All the production four cylinder cars (except the 100S) have the same windscreen surround and glass and all the production six-cylinder roadsters have the same (but different to the 100s) windscreen and glass. 

Fitting a six-cylinder screen to a four-cylinder car is a pain in the bum. I know this from personal experience as the BN3/1 has one.
