Hi Bill et all

What about the availability of the metal chromed strip that fits into the
hard top rear glass seal on early Spitfires . I have located an original
metal hard top with rear glass and all associated bits for my Mk 1 . Just
need to locate the original glass rubber seal and chromed metal finisher .

Was also lucky enough to find the original chromed metal finisher for the
front windshield rubber seal . Ok , it took a couple of years to locate it .

Yeah , I know I'm behind in list e mail , but I've just returned to the
office after being away on business for a couple of months . Should
hopefully have the next 3 days in front of the computer .

Kind regards .

A custom screen for the early Spitfire hardtop would be a very expensive
proposition. It shouldn't be difficult to find a used example as the
hardtops were very prone to rust. I sometimes have them available though
I've nothing at the moment - I don't know where you are but I'min the UK.
The other problem is obtaining the correct windscreen seal, but I am working
on that one.....
    Cheers,
        Bill.
