Windshield hardware

Post by Mopar_man » Thu Jul 06, 2023 10:34 pm

Getting ready to put the windshield together on my 26 Touring. Looking at a catalog there is no nut but when I got the bolts they came with a nut. Is this toe correct order minus the nut?

Also I thought this drilled area on the bottom of the frame (where the rubber goes) was just a manufacturing mark but now I've seen it on older (original?) frames.

From an old Macs parts catalog illustration; the order you have excluding the nut is correct.

That's what I saw as well. I'm thinking the nut is for another application.

That nut holds the cone to the stud, I believe.

Steve, never thought about that. I try in different configurations and see if the nut will fit into the windshield stanchion.

I believe the stud screws into the frame followed by the cone, the nut & then the w.s. frame then the wingnut.

That drilled area at the bottom of the frame is the starting point for inserting the windshield rubber.
