Hi, I have a Nov 77 245 which has been without screen trim for last three screens (about 15 years). Screen rests on on two rubber blocks at the base and is retained/sealed with a mastic compound. I understand that the body pressings in this area are the same from late 140/160 right through the 240 series.

There is a cavity between the screen recess pressed into the bodywork and the screen which is about 3/8 to 1/2 inch all of the way around the screen.

If the size difference is only 0.2 inches, the screen should fit into the recess without hassles. With regard to the trim, on the 240 it uses a 2 piece clip set, with a U shaped component fitted to the edge of the screen befor the mastic, and different clip inside the trim. Once the screen mastic has set, the trim clips are alligned to the channel clips already on the screen and a light tap locks them in place. Its not uncommon to replace the full set of clips when replacing the scren.
