That's great Terry. Thanks.
Ever feel the World's conspiring against you- payday today, finished work this afternoon, had a couple of errands to do before going to the workshop, so went to grab some cash from a cashpoint machine ...no cash. No card either. It swallowed my card. Poo.
So I spent the afternoon fighting my way into Basingstoke town centre to go to the bank & report it. Had to cancel my card, then draw my wages in cash so I can go to the drag races this weekend. Then they said the cash I'd tried to withdraw was showing as taken from the account -so I've got to go back on Monday & fill in forms to claim it back. Poo again.
So no workshopping again today.
Did manage to collect the windscreen from the glazier though. 20 quid.
Apparently the accepted way of cutting a laminated screen is to score it on both sides with a glass scribe, snap it along the line, then pour methylated spirit into the cut & set it alight to melt the clear plastic sheet between the 2 sheets of glass. No idea why they can't just cut it with a Stanley knife, but as long as it works, I don't care. They managed to leave the all important "E" mark in the corner of the screen too.
Just got to try not to break it now before the MOT. Got some welding around the doors to do yet, so it'll be carefully tucked away for the time being.
Plywood template & new glass screen.
