Re: [mg-tabc] TC Windshield

[Jennifer and Hugh Pite]

Hi Mark, the TD windscreen is wider than the TC. I don't remember by how
much, but I thought that it was more than 5/8". I think the best thing to
do would be to go down to any glass supplier with a pattern and get one cut
out of flat laminated glass. I have had a couple done that way and they
were quite inexpensive and fitted well.

A hint to all....... The best way to get a windscreen for your T-Types A-F
is to take your frame to your local auto-glass guy and ask them to cut a
piece of 6.38mm Thick Clear (White, not green tint) Laminated Glass to fit
your frame. You will find that :-......
a) It will probably be a lot cheaper than Moss etc.....
b) It won;t get broken in transit, unless you drop it yourself
c) It WILL fit...... T-Type frames are notoriously variable in size......
