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.

I'm thinking that's right.

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

agree with Jack Putnam
