So far so good Attempted a 'dry fit' of the folding windscreen tonight to see how it goes and what clearance I have on the scuttle and to see what needs fettling

I made sure I labelled ever fitting as I took them off as I've heard some horror stories of screens cracking when tightening up a screw too long

Also pleased Morgan left enough slack on the heated screen wires to allow it to fold - I thought I might have to cut them and reattach

Looks like a good job done well. Are you feeling braver to attempt the aero screen challenge yet?

Still a bit nervous, I'm going to have to drop the dash however I attach them so I don't damage the veneer

Stewart, well done. A watch point for the aero screens. Even if the feet & the screens miss the windscreen when the windscreen is up the winged nuts that hold the aero screens to the feet can touch the windscreen. I found I left the aero screens on generally so this touching is annoying even if only when the car vibrates. John

Good point, thanks for that John - will double check that one
There are so many potential pitfalls on this little project

I know I found it a scary process to drill into the car.

Well done you! I wasn't aware that this could be done on a heated windscreen.
