#1 FHC: steel panel inside, above windscreen

Post by marc » Wed Mar 22, 2017 12:23 pm

Hello everybody,
do you know where i could find the steel panel that should be fitted above the windscren (inside)? The fixings for the mirror and the sunvisors go through this rather thin steel panel, unfortunately missing on my 1963 FHC.
We cannot find any trace of it neither on the SNG catalogue or on Martin's Robey website.
Thanks a lot in advance for your advice.

Hi Marc,
You could try phoning MR; they do make parts that are not advertised on their web site.

Secondly; if you are still unable to find this part and you are unable to make it up, you could try contacting Chuck at MM
http://www.monocoque-metalworks.com/mai ... s-catalog/

Who states he will make up any part you need.

Hi Paul,
thanks a lot for your reply,
i just called Martin Robey and they don't provide this "roof header panel", they say the only chance is to get one from somebody who chopped the roof from a FHC in order to make an OTS...

Hi Marc,

I bought some parts from MM and Chuck work very well.
From the USA to France the delivery is't cheap but he can built what you want and it's really an "artist"
His web site http://www.monocoque-metalworks.com is very interesting

Hi Marc
