I have a build manual for an original Nick green TA which has a drawing with dimensions of the triangular brackets which fix the screen frame to the body. I can e-mail you a copy. I don't know if they will do for your Henly but you are welcome to look.

Hi Donnie,
I'm not sure if the Henley windscreen was the same as the Nick Green TA, TC/TD/TF. The windscreens were furthur developed and improved by later owners of NG cars. Other club members will be able to help om that issue. The Nick Green TD/TC/TF shared a common windscren which has curved tops. The TA has 90 degree tops. Poor description but i think you'll see what i'm on about. The TC/TD/TF brackets changed very early on. Originally they were triangular as were the TA Brackets (Nigel mentions this and he has kindly just sent me scan of the build manual)...however the TA brackets were thin compared to the TC/TD/TF. Later the TC/TD/TE brackets were cast and had a more ellegant shape. They changed again when the main screen was modified by later owners of NG Cars. I can scan the relevant page from my TD build manual if that will help you and i'll try and get some photos sent of the TA and TD brackets.

Hi Nigel and Dave.

Many thanks, indeed, for replying. Yes, drawings would certainly be helpful if it's easy for you to email. Photos would also be much appreciated - there are clearly a few variations out there and, while I'm not looking to replicate the brackets perfectly (fat chance), I would like to keep a family resemblance if possible.

My frame is a very basic aluminium 'U' channel which has been bent to shape, so has curved top corners.

What usually goes between the screen and the scuttle? I guess I could just 'sikaflex' the screen to the body and fit a decorative chrome strip over it, but wonder if there was a 'production' NG item used here?

Thanks for your help. Donnie.

Donnie,

It sounds like you have the basic TC/TD/TD windscreen with you car. Between the screen and the fibreglass scuttle NG provided a shaped aluminium sheet. This was riveted to the screen frame and where it met the scuttle a piece of steel reinforced rubber door liner type of trim ws fitted over the edge of the ali sheet. It was then pushed down onto the scuttle. No nasty silkaflex or sealer is required.

It looks like i ought to send you a few more pages from the original build manual where it describes preparing and fitting the screen. Have you got as far as fitting the lift -the -dot fastners? Caution there. I'll e-mail you as this is getting a bit long.
Cheers Dave

happy to send photos,what part of the world are you in,do you have a tel no
