Ernie, no doubt about it, old cars, English or not, don't have the same design improvements as modern cars, including the windshield frames. I still remember the warning in the manual for my old TR4, that advised tightening all the nuts at least once a month. At one point, my electrical system would discharge when I turned one way, and charge like crazy when I turned the other. Finally figured out there was a hairline crack in the generator mount, which allowed the belt to tighten or loosen, depending on which direction I was turning. Sure was a fun car, though. Everyone should own at least one Triumph, MG, etc.
