alexander Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Some time ago some one posted a photo and instructions of how to trim the top windscreen seal. I used the search using various key words but can’t find the thread I want. If at all possible could the author please post instructions and photo again. Many thanks Alexander Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sidescreen Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hello Alexander, Sorry for my delayed reply, I was a couple of days away from home. On your request hereby a photo of my top windscreen seal, according to Bill Piggott's book as seen on page 39 from The Original Triumph TR2,3,3A book. You have to cut 1/3 away from the interior side of the rubber so that the screws and fixing points for an eventual hardtop can be seen. You also get a better grip and water tightness for your soft top cutting this away. Hope this will helps ! Regards - Raymond Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rodofcv Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Alexander, Thanks for your "web" compliments ! Raymond Hiya Raymond, off the original subject but could you give details of your sun visors please. They look like just what every side-screen TR needs! Thanks Rod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sidescreen Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hi Rod, Got them from Moss long time ago, part no. was or still is MM240-300. I changed the'"glass" for real Perspex which gives you a more and better vision and it looks far more nicer. You can a choose from a great range of Perspex colours. What I changed as well are the screws in the Perspex and brackets, I replaced them for polished stainless steel screws as you can see on the pics. Hope this will helps - Raymond Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrianC Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I have the same sun-visors and they are a real help. However, be very careful when fitting them as the brackets are a very poor quality casting and break easily. In fact, one of mine broke even before fully tightening the setscrew, but Moss very kindly supplied a replacement pair FOC. Nevertheless, I am very careful when moving the visors, just in case. The brackets would be better made of brass or ally and I guess that's what I'll do if they break again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sidescreen Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Brian & Rod, My brackets are made out of brass and came from Moss as well....!? It seems to be that there are two different kind of materials in circulation. I've seen separate brackets for sale during shows every now and then !

BrianC Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Raymond, Mine are chrome over some kind of brittle casting (probably an alloy or mazak). When I had my problem about 3 years ago, I did suggest to Moss that brass would be a better material, so maybe they persuaded the supplier to change? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sidescreen Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Brian, Bought my sun visors about 10 years ago, so the ones I've got must be the "old fashioned" quality. Or otherwise, Moss changed from supplier...... Perhaps its worth a question to Moss of they really changed ? Are the brackets of their wind wings made out of Mazak as well or are those made out of brass......? Raymond Quote Link to post Share on other sites
