Thanks. It is really nice to fit something back on with the intention that it's back on for good.

What size butyl tape did you use? I'm looking to fit a heated screen shortly but had an issue with which tape to use last time I changed glass.

It was 2.5mm x 12mm. I got 19 metres for about £14. From a company called Reddiseals via ebay. First time I’ve used butyl tape so I’ve got nothing to compare it to but it certainly seemed to grip the glass a treat. I cut a bit off to test and even after mauling it about and experimenting it stayed flexible and sticky. I put a strip in the frame then the glass then another strip before fixing in the shiny trim.

Don’t worry, that shiny won’t last long.

No Land Rover progress but I have just noticed something. I’m currently on the ferry about to depart to Rotterdam for a little half term family jollity. There’s a complimentary mini bar so I’m feeling fine. Just watched Ice Cold in Alex and in one of the final scenes Anthony Quinn is being driven away by the British military police having been discovered to be a German soldier and what is in the background but a series one Land Rover! That can’t be right can it?

Don’t think so. Must have been a shortage of age related cars to dot about on set.
