Fitting Windscreen

Has anybody fitted the ET05 Robin Hood windscreen to their MK Indy. How did you manage to hold the aluminiumfram around the glass so you could line up the bottom rail and cut and secure.?
Also did the windscreen pillars work as the ones I have seem at too steep an angle for the screen.
Lastly has anyone else noticed that the MK scuttle is not symetrical.?

Cheers
John

I think it is common practice to make a ply template of the screen and cut / form the frame around that before fitting the glass.

I took the easy route and bought a secondhand Caterham screen!

to hold the aluminium just use brown packing tape or masking tape but remove asap or you will have to clean the glue off for weeks

I also had the pillars but there rubbish imo so ditched them and made my own from some strip aluminium.

I too noticed my scuttle wasn't symetrical but thought it was either just mine or me.
