Steve 90 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Im on the scrounge for pictures of how they mount the windscreen in the front hoop of the cage on Tom cats etc. If there's anyone out there with one and can post a couple of close up's it would make my christmas :D Thanks.

missingsid Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hi Steve, I am concidering the same move. IIRC the standard way is to weld a strip of steel inside the front hoop to enable the windscreen rubber to locate the glass. Not that easy as it has to be waterproof and the curve is cut from a square peice of metal if you see what I mean? Then make a template for the flat glass and get it cut to shape to fit. If I am incorrect or there is a better way then I am sure someone will come along If this is how you go ahead I would like to know your experience? Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1G UP Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Theres a fella in our club that has had a screen bonded in.Same method of fixing but bonded in rather than a rubber,strong apparently but not so good if it gets broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOR4x4 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 weld 1/2" x 1/8" strip to the cage, tomcat weld about 50% (1" weld, 1"gap), then glue it in with some good silicon sealer, have screen cut to leave about 1/4" clearance all round, Will test how much your cage is flexing though. Never had a problem on mine except when putting trees through it Removing broken screen is easy. Normally costs about £35 for local glazer to cut out of 6mm laminated with kite mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 as above but i wouldn't use silicone if you go to a friendly screen fitter they can either fit it for you or sell you the proper sealant it's much better than silicone mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan kemp Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Saley welded a full sheet into the hole where the windscreen is and then made a template for the glass. Put the template on the sheet and cut out the hole leaving about 25mm still attached to the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
