BenF Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I'm planning on ordering windscreen brackets with captive nuts, to allow a quicker change of windscreen to aeroscreen. The brackets locate in a channel inside the scuttle. Looking in this channel now, there are two studs each with a nut on the end. Obviously, the bracket is fitted by removing the nuts and then refitting them with the brackets in place. However - just to check, are these studs attached to something which is holding them in place? I don't want to undo the nuts and find that the studs (or then more likely, bolts) drop vertically into an inconvenient place between the sideskin and the chassis!

myothercarsa2cv Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 And have some washers handy, as you'll almost certainly need to lift the captive nut brackets to line up with your windscreen holes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
