Windscreen hinge brackets measurement Series 3 1983

catman275 · May 4, 2019

Hi folks,
Can anyone tell me the distance between the hinge brackets mounted on the bulkhead?
I had to cut one off when repairing the bulkhead and although I made a measurement mark I want to double check if it is correct.
Thanks Peter

Bonnet or screen ?

Sorry, they are the screen brackets that sit up above the top of the bulkhead.

My series 3 lives without them, so someone else will have to answer this one.

Can you not check the measurement between the two mounting brackets on the windscreen to confirm?

1,407mm between inside faces on my Lightweight. Same screen and hinges I think despite being a different bulkhead.

I just checked my original mark and it measured 1406 mm so that looks fine.
My son is coming around later and will help me try the windscreen and bolts/brackets for position ( too heavy on my own).
Will see how near it is,
cheers for the help Peter

I cleaned down to bare metal, redrew my marks , tacked on the hinge and snugged down the bolts and it swings easy
