New Windscreen

[Alex Rae]

I need a new screen.

 

When fitting it do I need to drill holes for the door hinges. If so, am I likely to break another screen?

 

TIA.

No all holes predrilled you can do a straight swop.

Magic.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. Even I should manage a screen change.

You can reuse the stanchions (the bits that hold the doors), it's 3 screws either side of the screen through said stanchions. Don't do them up too tight!

 

Hardest bit will be the heated windscreen connections.

Having cracked the (unheated) glass in a friends screen, I am obliged to replace it. Whereas before you could just refit new glass, I am told that Caterham now only supply the glass in a frame at a cost of £315.00 + VAT. I wonder why ? ....

It's still listed on their web site here. They're generally not keen to post it, though. You should be able to get it cheaper elsewhere, I pay £50 a time fitted from Ben Rockey at the Classic Car Workshop.

Caterham will supply the unheated glass on it's own, but the heater glass is only available in a frame ☹️
