October 7, 2004: A few folks have reminded me that CMC sells a windscreen designed for these cars.
It's $300. Not a bad option, but I'm going to try my own instead. I want a slightly different shape than CMC uses and I don't mind putting a bit of time in. It should be surprisingly affordable - the first quote on glass (flat glass, about 35"x15") is $36. All I need to do is find some channel to run around the outside edge. I'll be visiting a few likely suppliers this afternoon. I'll also be dropping by a friend's house as he is donating the wiper setup from an MG Midget. Excellent news!

After this burst of activity, the Seven will sit quiet for a while. I'm heading back to Ottawa for a week and a half to attend a friend's wedding and visit family. I'll also be borrowing an original Mini while I'm there and I'll have a little peek at the wiper setup...
