Apply a bead of Betaseal/mate adhesive (see sub-section BM.5) to the bonding surface in the manner
shown.
Fit the structure to the chassis and press into position to spread the adhesive. Use several clamps around
the joint flange to retain the structure until the adhesive has cured; This will take approximately 4 hours
dependent on atmospheric conditions, with a longer period required in dry atmospheres.
Fit the undershield, radiator (see sub-section KF.4), front clamshell (see sub-section BN.4) and remaining
parts.
BM.8 - WINDSCREEN FRAME
The windscreen frame is a single VARI moulding incorporating hollow foam filled sections, and includes
the fascia top and a forward extending buttress at each side to brace the frame to the front chassis. A sepa-
rately moulded demist duct is bonded to the underside of the fascia top and forms an integral part of the
windscreen frame. A separate dash baffle is fitted between the underside of the demist duct and the chassis,
and the aluminium dashboard panel joins the rear edge of the fascia top to the chassis scuttle.
