Windscreen and rear bulkhead screen assembly
Although we have fitted a number of windscreens and rear bulkhead screens
ourselves it is strongly recommended that the fitting of the two screens should
be undertaken by a professional windscreen fitter. Using a professional
windscreen fitter has a number of advantages.
1. They will guarantee a fit without leakage.
2. They will be able to offer a number of rubber trim panels to go around the
outside edge of the glass which in turn will make a much neater job.
3. They will be able to supply the black primer paint which is required for the
inside edge of the screens to obscure the glue when they bond them in.
WINDSCREEN WASHER BOTTLE PIPES AND JETS
The Libra utilises the standard Rover Metro washer bottle, pipes and jets.
The bottle is mounted on pre-moulded supports in the radiator ducting and the
pipes run from the bottle through the front bulkhead of the monocoque to
moulded positions for the two jets.
Windscreen Washer Bottle Pipes and Jets assembly
The standard K Series Rover screen washer bottle is secured to the top of the
radiator ducting with three No 8 self tapping screws 12mm long. The screen
jet tube runs under the washer bottle through the same grommet as the
Speedo cable and across the dashboard to the two K Series Rover Metro
screen jets. These jets fit into the bodywork on the two raised sections either
side of the central mounting position for the bonnet. The standard K Series 'T'
pieces are used between the two jets and the pipe down to the washer bottle.
It is necessary to block off the rear screen wash washer pipe. Measure the
centre of each raised section and pilot drill a hole. Open out to Ø7mm and file
off rough edges. The jets should just push fit in to the hole. Thread the pipe
under the wiper mechanism and out through the smaller grommet in the RHS
of the front bulkhead. From here it connects to the washer bottle.
