Any tips for chopping screen down to size ?

Good idea HT about feeling the height!

@ Andy pandy, cardboard template cut folded to make symmetrical, 2"masking tape all over top of screen and draw on it from template, cut with coping saw or jigsaw with feet taped for safety 4"rubbing block with 120 grit to deburr and edges then can be left matt with compound and a rag.

 

When I did mine, I eyed it up then applied masking tape. I cut it with an angle grinder with a very slim cutting disc installed and finished it off with a file then sandpaper.

 

As he said angle grinder for me too

 

When I were a lad we used to work with Perspex and we used an tool like a jigsaw that heated up and melted it's way through the Perspex, much fun was had making star shaped sunglasses from an assortment of colours, too high brow??

 

or eye brow

 

The masking tape reply is the best one. It prevents any cracking. I did the screen on my Kawasaki Nomad like that.Then used a sanding block.

 

Thread is five and a half years old dude, and I think Andy has long since moved on from his America

 

I know. And yet, people are still reading it, So maybe someone will find it useful. I know i have found loads of old threads, that are. I guess that's why the admin don't delete them eh.

 

@MICK64 Unfortunately all you are doing is pushing the more recent and relevant threads further down the page meaning less people are going to see them and the OP may not get the answers they need
Luckily as the only Triumph specialist here you will be able to resurrect them in 5 years time

 

Jesus. there some knotted panties on here isn't there aren't there.Thankfully they are out numbered by the helpful people that have emailed me. I put you down as a sarcastic loud mouth, and have no use for you, So goodbye

 

Ooooh, how very judgemental of you

 

@MICK64 can you reconsider your heroic intervention on the forum and then telling respected members that is it they who are the problem?

Maybe there is another Triumph forum that might appreciate your genuine helpfulness and bon homme social skills.

People have asked you to stop resurrecting old posts. You clearly have a lot to offer based upon your opinion of your knowledge. Can you possibly apply that intellect to all future posts and maybe forgive those that have apparently offended you by asking you to change your approach?
