- I'm about to fit the windshield to my '74 rebuild project. On the screen I took from a '74, I see black caulking between the glass and rubber seal, and between the seal and the frame. Windshield peop

- 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

- You will need a sealant between the seal and glass and between the seal and bodywork. Proprietary windscreen sealing mastic, though I've previously used black roofing mastic (less than half the price

- 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?

- 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

- 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
