I managed to acquire a body from Pilgrim I now need a screen. I have sourced a supplier in Belgium but are in some doubt as to whether I need the part that sits on the body-a metal serrated piece that is screwed to the body as the Pilgrim has a raised lip (see photo) I am uncertain as to where this is situated in relation to the lip which isn't present on other kits.I only bought a shell from Pilgrim so they do not offer support unless you buy the full kit.  

Any advice from you guys would be much appreciated.

If you become a supporting member you will have access to both the CMC and Fiberfab build manuals in the Resource section of this site. They both show that same piece you speak of as part of their build kits. and provide specific directions on mounting the windshield / screen to the car.

 

I don't see that part in the Vintage parts section of their website but that doesn't mean they don't put it on their cars, it just doesn't appear as a part on their site. 

 

Others with experience building out these cars would be of help in placement and advice as to whether it is a truly important part of the build. Looking at it, I'm guessing that installing it would be a good idea, but I haven't built one of these. 

Red Baron:

 

Have you contacted Chesil Motor Company, Bridport, Dorset UK?  Perhaps sourcing the screen in England? less freight?

 

If the hole, I see in the photo is for the windshield (screen) post, than it appears that Pilgrims screen would sit on that lip?

 

The drawing you provided is from the CMC builders manual.  Is your source in Belgium providing you with this drawing or was that from your Pilgrim kit?  What I am getting at is, if your are being supplied with CMC parts, there are several guru's on this site that can advise you.
