How is this rubber attached to a Hotchkiss windscreen. With screws. What size. The old rubber was attached with a sort of 'paperclips' :? .

Yes the seal on my 24v 201 is attached with the body clips as you mention. The WOF seal is actualy quite diffrent form the WW2 type, its larger to seal the gap, and has a channel molded into it to recive the clips, then they used a couple screws at the out side ends. I cant recall at the moment, but I got an org. and the clips from some outfit in the UK. Trying to fit the repro type was a waste of time, oh yes the WOF seal is actualy longer as well, it goes down farther on the sides. The frame had large holes to recive the clips, the org WOF parts worked fine.
