Should I install the gasket on the frame first and then install the glass? Or put the gasket on the glass first and then install the whole thing onto the frame? It took me a while to figure out which way the gasket goes because of all of the various slots but I think I have it correct now. I've installed it on the frame but it doesn't want to stay in place in the corners. Should I use some sort of weatherstrip sealer to hold everything in place before trying to put the glass in?

I put the gasket on the glass and then installed that into the frame. Did it twice... The second time worked better, starting at one side and working across. After the first side is in, and you've worked the top and bottom along maybe 6 - 8 inches, push the glass in toward the started end as far as possible, then proceed. Use plenty of soap for lube. If the frame is off the car, consider reinstalling the trim before putting it back on. With the frame installed, I'm now struggling with the bottom SS strip, and it would be so much easier to get it in if the frame to car gasket was free.

The frame is now installed on the car with all new gaskets. The lower strip is the last trim piece to go on. I've tried all the combinations, getting the top of the ss strip in first, the bottom in first, and trying to get both top and bottom in together as I go side to side. No success either way. I think one of the on line videos showed that the guy had put the bottom strip in last with the frame on the car, but it didn't show how he did it. Anybody out there have any success at this? Or should I just give up, remove the windshield again, install the SS strip, then put it back? Stu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm thinking the same is true with the windshield. It is very possible that loosening the frame a little will allow you to insert the lower strip but I don't know.

I have renewed with the correct fluid for the third time now with? several hundred miles? to no? avail.? Any other flushes recommended or do I have the tranny rebuilt?? Another question is can the tranny be taken out without? the engine being removed??? I? believe the synchros being brass have absorbed the slick stuff to disallow them stopping very fast. Hoping for some wise advise as you all have come thru for me in the past very nicely.?

It's part number H.109776 in the parts guide. I don't see it on the usual Sunbeam parts websites. I found an old reference to CAT having them but I don't see them in their parts list. [image: image.png] This is a very old photo from before my car was taken apart 30 years ago and I guess these caps got tossed along with the furflex. If there is no source for these things maybe somebody can give me a few close up photos of one so I can see if I can duplicate them somehow.

You can get them from Rick at SS or from Sunbeam Specialties in the Midlands, UK. They are different than the originals because they do not have the spring clips inside to hold them, which are very rare. I have 3 pieces, one original. I had 2 originals on my RHD 65 Alpine, only one left, still looking for the lost one. Glue them on or they vanish. I have been looking for originals for about 7 years. Looked in the UK also, when there earlier this yr. News one are only rubber and come off very easily w/o .
