So....... @glenanderson and team

No going back now.

Went and got the 14tpi blades and then got caught short by sunset yesterday

So today I stole a bit of time from work to get out in the daylight, having started my day early.

So I used a knife to cut some of the silicone out between the screen frame and body.

Then straight in.

Whoooopps........ no going back at this point.

Used a lump hammer and cold chisel to first chase it down after cutting the angle iron reinforcing in the A-Pillar, then chased it up and wriggled it out the top.

Looking from the rear.

Then around to the shed after cleaning it all up, and fetched the frame @glenanderson has restored for his Land Rover to offer it up for size.

And tilted back the way I have always visualised it. Along with the roll bar tilted back the same way, it should look good. IMHO

Opinions ??

Any advice?
