8.2.8 Tenax and lift the dot studs

Replace the 8 2BA screws in the windscreen pillars with the long Tenax studs. Do this one at a time. Cut the
studs to the correct length, particularly the top ones so that they do not screw into the glass and potentially
crack the windscreen, and fit appropriate washers to stop the hexagon flats recessing into the counterbores. 4
of the Tenax studs are used to fit the wind wings, if being fitted check the fit adjusting the clips as necessary.
The other 4 Tenax studs are for fitting the side screens. Screw the two 2BA threaded single "lift the dot"
studs into the tapped holes provided in the windscreen flanges. These are used for the tonneau and the side
screens.
All these studs may already be fitted by Suffolk Sportscars.

8.2.9 Aero screens

Finally check the fit of the aero screens on their spindles, they should side on and off easily, if not try
loosening the spindle mounts before fitted the aero screens then re-tightening the screws. The locking lever
goes to the outside and allows you to adjust the angle.

8.2.10 Wiper arms and blades

The wiper arms are adjustable and can be made to suit various applications. Remove the protective tape off
the wiper blades before inserting them into the wiper arms with the hook facing away from the wiper spindle
mount and secure with the rubber pin, this can be cut shorter to improve looks.
On the back of the wiper arm is a measurement scale use this to get help both wipers the same length, hold
the thin part of the wiper arm in a bench vice with the wiper arm horizontal and bend the arm to angle the
wipers so they park against the bottom of the screen, they can also be pulled out to extend the wipers if
required. Regularly offer the wipers onto the spindles to check your progress and the sweep of the wipers,
once happy with one repeat with second wiper. If the blades are a little to long these can be trimmed with tin
snips or similar.
Do not fit these permanently until the wiper motor has been tested and you are sure it's in the parked
position, Right hand drive cars are better parked to the right hand of the windscreen.
