So what I know so far is this.
There are at least 2, possibly 3 different windscreen/ trim arrangements for the 1/2 series cars.
All are interchangeable if you use the screen with the appropriate seal/trim
What I am not sure about is if the early windscreen ( made for the chrome trim) is physically different to the late windscreen (made for the rubber trim). I know that the late screen has blackouts (frit) but I am more interested in anything dimensional. Is it possible to install an early windscreen using a late rubber seal?
The reason is this. I would like to fit a late rubber seal to the front of my 262. I know that a 262 windscreen is a different shape but I have measured it carefully and the outside circumference of the screen is almost identical and the corners are in the right place.
I just need to know how the whole assembly actually goes together. I read somewhere that the late screen has a plastic bead stuck to the glass to retain the rubber? Can anyone confirm or deny this?
