<div dir="ltr">Well, it opens and closes easy enough. It looks straight, but like every other part used on this car, it's not original to the car. I don't think it is going to be a big problem. Now the windscreen assembly with ALL unrelated parts may be another matter. The distance between the windscreen and chrome uprights was set during the body work, but that is no guarantee there will be no problem fitting it. Couple that with the fact this will be the first time I put a windscreen together for a big Healey. When the time comes, there will be questions. Heck, I have not found a part yet that did not need considerable work to make it fit.<br></div><div dir="ltr">Mike MacLean<br></div><div><br></div>
