Thanks to all who proved valuable help re my screen problem. So what I
have learned is:
all TD screens are the same height (10 1/4") regardless of the wiper
motor position
at 11 1/4" the new screen I have bought is not for a TD. The
construction is very similar and it is the same width at the bottom so I
am guessing it is for an MG - possibly a larger tourer Y SA VA? If
anyone can through light on this I would be very grateful so I can
find it a good home.
I said that the height of my screen is 9 5/8", but it has no glass in
it. The screen was pretty battered and bent and I have had it worked
on by a metal smith. I think what has happened is that he had put too
much of a bow in the bottom rail, which may explain why I could not
get it to sit right between the scuttle mountings. One of the scuttle
mountings was twisted and I have had that fixed, but still it was not
right, so now I shall adjust the height to 10 1/4" and try again.
Failing that I have had the offer of a genuine TD screen which I would
gratefully accept.
Thanks as always
Douglas
