Fixing a common cab 12 design problem

[Alex van de Wetering]

Nice thread subject Keith! It's the same with the cab 11 indeed....rotting wood doesn't help.
A few weeks ago I removed the winter cover from my unrestored C8 cab 11. I stood on the bumper to remove the timber frame I built over the truck to hold the "tent" when the complete windscreen dropped inside the cab with a loud bang......Which made me wonder how the cab 11/12 windscreen frame is supposed to be attached to the rest of the cab in the first place?And is there a difference between the cab 11 and 12, because the 12 has the "opening" windscreen. Are the brackets (used to the sure the frame to the cab with bolts) welded to the round windscreen tube-frame? or do the brackets have a round section and does the round frame just slide over it? I welded mine temporary, but it seemed I was not the first individual that had a go at "fixing' the frame.
