That hand brake lever came up fairly good.
Certainly a little better than when you saw it last, I hope. Finished it while doing the windscreen frame painting, to make mixing the paint worthwhile.
Yet another part to store carefully until needed in months/years.

I reassembled the driver side windscreen this evening. Hmmmm, it's OK I guess, but not perfect. Temporarily installed the outer seal and cut the corners, ready to glue tomorrow afternoon. It's funny to see so many restored vehicles which don't have the outer seal parts joined together, just all sitting there seperately. All for the want of a 'bees' of super glue. Just leave a slight bit more length than minimum. The rubber may shrink over time. From my experiments, the glue wouldn't break though. I did a test on a scrap piece before I did passenger side, and flexed the joint back & forth for a couple of days, until I got sick of that and pulled the bits apart. Glue remained, rubber broke apart.

I have booked the car transporter trailer for 0800hrs Saturday A.M, so I am going to get the chassis, one way or another. Not losing my rental money! It better be ready for me, or.........."Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when i'm angry"
