Default Front & Rear Screen Replacement

Its quite simple really the front windscreen was in stock at Autoglass and
has the packaging.
The rear screen from the 407 bought from eBay, I went to see the vendor a
previous
Bristol club member and enthusiast saw photographs of the unfortunate car
both pristine
and derelict, I bought all the glass except the front screen which are still
available.
I bought spare doors mainly for the mechanism. I am a bit old in the tooth
to get
caught out Kevin. The vendor is now into Rolls Royce's and has a collection
of 6 .
I am beginning to be a bit like Brian May for 407's as I have spare heads
(unleaded), spare manifolds, exhaust and inlet,
Spare carb,starter,dynamo,fuel tank,heater,rear lights,gasket sets,carb
repair kit,master cylinder repair kit, dash board,
horns,doors,glass,hoses,badges,hub caps,wheel,jack,heater motor,windscreen
rubber and loads of electric bits.
I was a boy scout so I take be prepared to its limit.
I have had the car 10 years now and one tends to collect bits when they come
up.
I needed a brake calliper Dunlop and found it brand new in our town so
bought a set.
I bought a box of oil filters from a closed down American Car specialist.
It amuses me that the gasket set all refer to the 313 as a dodge truck
engine.
So it not only Bentleys that are lorries!

Kind regards,

Nick
