ILLness!

Yes my Girlfriend & I have been ILL.

Not merely "ill", but most definitely ILL. We came back from the west country & started feeling rough soon afterwards, started off like a cold, but it has been evil! My girlfriend has suspicions it may have been bronchitis as she had that a long time ago. I wouldn't be surprised. The previous time we stayed in a Premier Inn we came away with covid.

But I am now on the mend, albeit very slowly. So it probably wasn't wise to spend all day in the garage working then, but that's what I did & have succeeded in adjusting the nearside door quite well & the off side one a bit, as well as more-or-less making a new near side side screen. Being ILL (did I mention that?) I'm perhaps not quite up to par & cut the hole for the cockpit vent too big, yes I did measure it twice, still loused it up. However a grommet printed in clear polyurethane adapts the hole size as well as stopping the vent rattling & making the opening action feel far more positive, so no harm done.

This it pretty much a straight re-make, the old ones are a strange sort of clear plastic, they were originally bolted to the doors - which is standard for the kit, but I took them off so I can swap them for small deflectors, but they are heavy, getting a bit clouded & have never fitted the soft top particularly well. Since the photo I've trimmed the top & rear faces & just need to drill a few holes for the "furniture" - the latch & the ball mount for the control arm that opens the window with the door.

Then I'll make it see through. I've always considered that important in a window.
