hurbie Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) hello all , first time here, been reading al over , great forum . i hope someone can help me out , i have my bulkhead rewelded (floors, top corners etc ..) but i'm not sure if the location for the windscreen hinges is correct . i attached a picture were i draw a few lines for mesurements . can someone have a look on there own bulkhead and see if these are correct ? the top hole is 17 mm from the top of bulkhead (center of hole) and 37 mm from the side botom hole is 55 mm from the top and 35 from the side. the left hand side is a little different: top hole 17 mm from top of bulkhead and 35 mm from side botom hole is 56 mm from top and 35 from side. greetings from the netherlands gerben Edited November 18, 2018 by hurbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 +/- 2mm is great by LR standards. Will try and grab some measurements tomorrow, have you tried the hinges to see if they fit ok? It's not too hard to sit the windscreen on and loosely run up the brackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurbie Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 thanks for the replay , i don't have extra hinges to try and fit them , the bulkhead is a spare that i'm going to change when everything is fixed , galvanised and painted ... so the hinges and windscreen are stil on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 If you look at the gaskets for the hinges it shows they are off set slighty, so yours should be ok, as they look about right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Ok, had a measure off my rebuilt one which I made a jig to capture key points from the OE, so mine is as close to the original as my rudimentary engineering skills can muster... Sides taken as looking from rear (as you will be LHD?) left side: 17mm from top, 36mm in. 57mm from top, 37mm in. right side: 17mm from top, 35mm in. 58mm from top, 36mm in. So, almost the same as yours. I only have 8mm holes in mine for the later type one piece hinge blocks although it should be a larger hole similar to yours.

hurbie Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 scotts90 , thanks for the measurement , now i know it should fit . next step is welding the steering bracket (the welder forgot to change the side of it (used to be a RHD , now converted tot LHD)) then it's to the galvanizing company 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
