Andrew Willcox Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I'm trying to fir a Caterham Composite Aeroscreen but only have 2 screws on top of the scuttle where the poppers should attach.Are there some special popper headed fixings that screw in here, I can't find any screws small enough to fit in the popper buttons I have.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garth Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Hi Andrew. Just fitted my aero for the first time and it was just the standard poppers that came with my original build - I used some no 6 by 1/2 screws (I think that is about 3.5 by 13 in metric speak!) and they worked fine! Are the studs you have the same size as those on your windscreen etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Willcox Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 Thanks Garth, investigated further last night, previous owner had inserted M5 rivnut into the dash rail so self tappers won't work.managed to cut off some M5 screws and rivet them into the popper heads and screw into rail... seems to be holding.Thanks for confirming there are no special fixings I should be looking for!

Garth Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Great - please you have a solution - have a look at Westfield Fasteners if you need some additional or new M5 bolts! They have a good range with different head sizes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
