My windscreen (1966) broke at the frame, a bottom corner mitre joint. There are multiple screws, if memory serves I think it’s two to each side, that go into a small angular brass bracket that holds the corner together. I believe on a prior rebuild (before i owned the car) one screw was not replaced, putting all the strain on a solitary screen that eventually gave. Shortcuts!
I had to fashion a new bracket from a piece of brass. Wasn’t too hard but in my rare spare evenings took months. Finally got it all together. While I had it open consensus was to put a fresh piece of glass in there and guidance was to go to an autoglass place and ask for school-bus glass. Wasn’t pricey at all, they cut new glass from the old one, and we put it together with new gaskets I got from Morgan Spares. Now as good as new.
One thing came out of it- took off the side glasses that came with the car. Did not replace. Like it better now, I do. Certainly no windier/noisier than when they were on. IMO a cleaner look. Beautiful either way though.
