A40 - Horrible malevolent bastard Standard Triumph screens

I don't put any grease in those either. The ones one the Disco are just plastic caps with no hole:

and no-one fills them with grease.

So we found a specialist selling mk3 rear screen rubbers. Bought one and fitted it or didn't. Far too fat and glass wouldn't go in the hole.  Rang him up.       " Yeah its for a GT6 really but they fit". No it fucking doesn't

PARTS GUYS. FFS WHY DO THEY

But yeah, fitting older screens where they have a sharp curve at the side is always a complete pain in the dick. The final boss is of course split-screens.

I've attempted to make some videos. This is difficult for me being technologically subnormal. I made a video of me driving it over the moors and back. I did this by putting my phone in an old phone holder cable tied to the passenger seat head rest and videoing in selfie mode. What I ended up with was 20 mins of the dashboard and trees. And selfie mode transfered the handing of everything from right to left. Sigh 🙄

So instead, if it works, have a walk round video showing where the car is at now. @worldofceri it doesn't seem the same car now that you brought to me 3 years ago!

Very smart.

You'll be taking that to shows and sitting in it with a thermos and sandwiches soon 😉

I've taken it to two. I park it up and rapidly walk away before anyone can ask questions 🤣

Indeed! But I liked it then and I like it even more now. It’s a credit to you.

Funny that you should tag me, I just caught up with your thread this morning.

Happy days. The fear really hit when you sent me this picture as I waited round at my dad's 😆
