Hi Mike I Have put a windscreen in to a Range Rover befoe , we tryed the way you hav just metioned {bottom first] and it was hard work and yes we broke it. when we got the pros to do it they put the top in first and it whent in so easy so please try it ths way as it is tapered down from th top and just leves the bottom to tuck in Love the chanel Rob from Essex

[@JeremyMAGNE]

Top top for you Mike. Put your urethane, glue or silicone tube upside down with the tip dipping in oil. This will stop the cure as it will not be exposed to air. I kept an open tube of PL glue for over 6 months like that and you can use it right away

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I will give it a go - will be a good idea for the Hylosil 100 as it dries pretty quick in the tubes!

Thought you were doing secret Santa there Mike !

Bought a set of those nut extractors many years ago in Sears, so Craftsman, or proper Craftsman should I say! Bloody brilliant, they were new on the market so I wasn't sure if they were good or a gimmick. Really pleased I took a chance. One more tip, don't forget to put ATF in the gearbox!!!!!!

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Thanks Harvey - the box is full!

Yes when I watched them fit the glass a while ago they were struggling and I said it it in the top first - I was tempted to do it by the book but now I will fit it in the top - there is a gap now bigger than the glass thickness so should be ok

I got thoroughly peeved when an expensive tube of UPol Tiger Seal was going off in the nozzle after just 3 or 4 days, no matter how I tried to seal it. Plastic film, cling film, over the main exit and over the tapered nozzle. Nothing worked and 3/4 of a tube is heading for the bin unless I can stop it. So freezer it is. I'll look at an oil system as well some time. A tip for superglue is keep that in the fridge. Lasts for years.

[@hammyh1165]

I use clear urethane to fix my boots and waders and keep it in the freezer , last tube was literally in there for years and was as good as the day I put it in .

Great video Mike, great tips again. Thank you. 😃

Glad you like them!

Been plagued by bouncing door locks on and off in mine since I've had it! Will try that trick and see if it works

Good tip about putting opened sealer cartridges in the freezer, I must have binned loads of these when the stuff has gone off after one use, now can they be defrosted in the microwave when you want to use them next ?

[@BritannicaRestorations]

The urethane comes in metal tubes so not a good idea! - I just leave them on the radiator a while

[@markbutland3665]

Use aquasure urathane for wetsuit and trainer repairs And keep in the freezer Ps have found lanolin grease in uk as recommended previously for winterising Called Lanoguard

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Thanks for the tips!

G"Day Mike. Thanks for the info on the Windscreen, will come in handy later on next year when I redo the screen on mine. Mate I was going to get the "Maximum Impact Bolt And Nut Remover Set" from your shop, but, and you can relate to this, the shipping killed it, cost more to ship than to buy and for the same total money, Item+Shipping (maybe a tad less), I can get it from local tool shop. Sorry matey :( I know its not your doing, its a problem that both you and I run into all the time. The items at a great price, but the shipping is off the chart. The only time I will bite the bullet on expensive shipping is when there is no alternative. Anyway, thanks for the update and take care hey. :)

Same getting things form Australia - I wanted some parts for my Isuzu but it would be cheaper to fly over!

[@gibsonethirty2836]

@@BritannicaRestorations Its a shocker hey, anyone would think Australia was at the other end of the planet - tucked in down under! ;)

My wife overheard the bit about the freezer, without looking up I heard “ forget it!”.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Lol!

[@axelcordes]

Just checked the shop, looks like I'm too silly to find :( in case you will still have one, I go for one, and will add some other bits and pieces to have all in one shot... cheers mike!

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Yes I will put one aside

[@odhranquinn8992]

Mike, have you added them yet? I'm keen on a set for xmas so my family looks at me strangely and wonder what the hell I've bought now! Any chance you'd put one aside for me as well?

[@axelcordes]

@@BritannicaRestorations :) perfect, will put the other things together tomorrow, and will let you know. Cheer axel

Are you going to sort that dash top where it is sticking up, before putting in the windscreen?

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I got most of it down but the plastic underneath has warped

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I got most of it down, but I think shoving a copy of the Sun in the front will work..

[@sunnyjim1372]

@@BritannicaRestorations I actually found a copy of the Daily Mirror for January 8th 1960 folded up and stuffed in the end of the bulkhead box section under the wing of my Series 2 back in 1978, not long after I got it! Records show it went to dispatch on 7th although it wasn't registered until 11th February, presumably as it had some equipment mounted in the rear first - it was originally sent to the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough and had heavy duty rear springs, evidence of a power take off with a belt drive through the seating box. It's a shame they don't do page 3 in the Sun any more, that would have helped push it down! Warming it up would be a bit of a risk as it could go too floppy and end up worse.

[@jamescunliffe9872]

Lol this black puddings a bit chewy:) is the viscous coupling like a haldex or a torque converter? Is it worth mouse meshing the louvered part?

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Maybe I will put mesh behind the louvres - will not stop mice but prevent pine needles getting in

@@BritannicaRestorations really good idea saves unclogging moss,dirt ,and algae leading to corrosion,I was thinking air intake but it's probably to restrictive at that gauge
