It may be that your windscreen people are misunderstanding your use of the term "caulking". There is no need for the insertion of tar-soaked ropes. I know for a wet-foot fact that with my Spitfire a

Dear Bill, Why is this? I must admit to having had very good results with silicone sealants. ATB -- Mike Ellie - 1963 White Herald 1200 Convertible GA125624 CV Connie - 1968 Conifer Herald 1200 Saloo

When doing this in dealership garages, the caulk of choice has been a butyl rubber compound. Cleans up quickly when soft, can be razored off the windshield when set up. Remains fairly pliable over ti

Hi Mike, Sorry for the late reply - I've been trading and partying at the TSSC International since Friday! Have you ever had to replace a seal which has been previously sealed with silicone sealant?

Ah! Now I understand. Thanks for that. Looks like Ellie's next windscreen seal replacement is going to be a pig of a job... ATB -- Mike Ellie - 1963 White Herald 1200 Convertible GA125624 CV Connie -

I've looked through various catalogues, books etc, but still can't determine: is the GT6 MK2 windshield the same size and shape as the Spitfire MK IV/1500? Cheers, Fred -- Fred & Wendy Griffiths Calg

No. The deeper windshield was first fitted in the mkIII GT6's. Spits mkI-III and GT6 mkI and II all share the smaller windshield. Later, Karl Theis

Andrew Mace's answer: Thank you. As I suspected. The MK2 GT6 has the same bonnet (hood) as the older Spits even though the dashboard is like the MK IV/1500. Cheers, Fred -- Fred & Wendy Griffiths Cal

I'd use brake fluid - or margarine (vegetable-based), neither of which should deteriorate the rubber seal. Ree Gurley in Silver Spring, MD - 78 Spit FM 73070U O

DO NOT USE BRAKE FLUID!!! It will eat the paint underneath/around the seal if it comes in contact with it!
