    Re: Roadster windscreen frame.

    Thanks guys, I used JB Weld to attach. Think I could dock the Queen Mary off of it now .

          Triggered from another thread!

          It occurs to me that we have seen the odd Roadster chassis appear on eBay and here.

          if they don’t sell and get weighed in for scrap, an hour or so with an angle grinder would provide a good answer for a particular chassis number range.

          Isn't there a YKC chassis available now, or has it been scrapped?

            Wee Beastie had a solid windscreen surround.
            My problem is that turning left the rear view mirror is in my line of sight and I can't see where I am going, It's stuck to the windscreen and so far has resisted my efforts at removal. I really don't want to damage the windscreen trying to remove it.

            In Wee Beastie I used a suction cup one, yes It fell off occasionally, but I never found a satisfactory position for it.

              The pointy topped dashboard makes a dash mounted mirror awkward, often thought the YKC curved dash would handle a dash top mirror better.
