PS, im from wisbech Cambs but i travel north to chester/Liverpool and south regularly.

Just gone on ebay this evening, back window and frame item no 202484104172

Thanks. I think it would be cheaper to have the glass cut locally. I’ve emailed one company for a quote.

Thankfully we got the 6 metres of concrete in today. Just waiting for it so we can power float it, then off to in-laws for a roast dinner

Where does the tacho drive cable go to? I need to replace mine as the end at the dash was cut off. No idea where the other end terminates though!

There's a little angle drive on the front rhs of the engine. On the timing cover.

Thanks!

Picked up BIG piece of glass for my cab today. Need to fit it now!

Take you time fitting it, if i were you i would use a new rubber seal and get it warm and flexible put it in hot water for a little whil. Then it's the usual piece of string and someone on the outside putting some light pressure on the glass as you pull the string. Enjoy!

I managed to get it in very easily, even using the old rubber. I always fit the rubber to the frame and then push the rubber from behind put so the glass pops in. Was shown that tequnique by a glass fitting firm when they did it on my mini. The string approach tends to pull the trim away from window edges. So I now use this method on all my classics with that type of rubber. I did pickup some new locking strip though as the old one was in about 30 pieces lol

Great job and a good tip too thanks, i remember putting the back window in my 911 targa when i rebuilt it years ago, All the experts said you can't o it which then turned it into a challenge which i won. Have you got it fully glazed up now or do you still need more glass. It certainly makes a lot of difference when you have not got the weather and exhaust fumes coming in the cab

I now have 1 window

Still need the other 4 lol. It’s amazing how warm I got behind that one window though!!!
