Default Windscreen.

Yet again, I spent all day working on the windscreen.
I re-arranged the side brackets to make it easier to get the screen on and off the car.

The brackets can now be removed with only two bolts each side.

Also there were two holes for the bolts in the front of the screen I was not happy with, so I filled them in and re-drilled to make them perfect.

I filled one side of the screen, but still have welding to do on the other side, so that will be filled after that job is done.

The screen work just seems to drag on forever, but it will get done, and I am much closer to the end than I was.

The irritating thing is, that I've done all this work, and it does not look much different.

The plus factor is, that with those side support brackets in place, the windscreen is so firm and rigid you can actually sit on it!.
All of the load is transferred down through the steel brackets to the side crash bars that are bolted across the original door space.

The other bonus is, that I most likely will be able to pull on the screen to drag my arse out of the seat and get out of the car.
