Think I've bought the wrong windscreen!

Removals01 · Apr 15, 2014

Hi All I've gone and done it again bloody ebay

Bought a complete sticks set complete with windscreen and all the bits to make my 88 a floppy top for the summer BUT when we tried to fit the screen its the wrong one

I appear to have a series 1 screen how can I tell for sure so I can sell it on as its in good shape.

Stick a picture up on here..

Does it have the brackets welded to the side of the screen where it hinges on the bulkhead?

Dr_evil · Apr 15, 2014

put a pic up and lets see, the egg may have the screen off you anyway

Removals01 · Apr 15, 2014

I'll take some pics tomorrow when I'm at the yard then try and figure out how to put up pics

an s1 screen has the mounts for the bolts to hold it to the bulkhead on the upright edge of the bottom of the screen. When the bolts go into the holes they will be parallel to the glass panes.

These mounts are large almost triangular pieces of metal that are welded onto the frame and should have two holes in them, one for the bolts to the bulkhead and one for a wing type mirror to screw in

voila bottom corner of s1 screen

Thanks HonoluluJoe I dont suppose you have a pic of the inside brackets do you?

honolulujoe · Apr 15, 2014

probably all I can do today the light is starting to fade here, hope they help

top and bottom brackets

just noticed first pic is top bracket but its upside down, must have had the phone the wrong way up

Yup thats the bugger cheers Joe appreciate that. So it would appear I have a series one windscreen for sale with shark tooth top will gladly swap for a series 3 windscreen with shark tooth top. Just a quickie is the shark tooth interchangeable?

honolulujoe · Apr 15, 2014

the shark tooth bit for an s3 will cost you around £65 its a separate piece, I doubt you would get that for an s1 screen, I bought one with glass for £15 a year or so ago, it was cheaper than getting a fresh piece of glass for mine. You might get an s3 screen on the bay with the bit already attached for less than £65 .

I am thinking of cutting the top off the spare screen and making it into a sharks tooth bit for my s3

Dr_evil · Apr 15, 2014

I'd offer my series 3 screen but I'm miles away

yes the thought had crossed my mind but didn't want to ruin a perfectly good screen but hey ho I'll get my favourite tool out

Thanks Doc its always the way

So after all that I've just seen an identical screen on ebay buts a series 2 not the one I thought do any of the screens interchange?

Pikey · Apr 20, 2014

2 & 3 screens are the same IIRC.

its only the hinges that differ between series 2 and 3

Removals01 · Apr 20, 2014

Well this one definately doesnt fit the series 3 Pikey and what is IIRC?

Removals01 · Apr 20, 2014

item no 141261669135 on the bay is an exact match to my one.
