Thread: More about wind wings---Brian

Tweet

The wind wings are now installed. To anyone who considers doing this, use a 10-32 tap along with a 0.156 dia. tap drill to put threads into the sedan posts. There are 2 layers of thin sheet metal there, about 3/8" apart, one the outer painted surface, the other inside the post. I will also use some blue loctite on the screw threads when I am totally finished.
Screw-ups encountered??? Well, none, really---except as noted in the previous post, the holes in the lexan are too small and have to be drilled out larger. ---AND---I ordered clear lexan, not smoked, damn it!!! I cut them to size before removing the brown "stick-on" paper that they are covered with for protection, when you receive them.---Then when I peel the paper of---SURPRISE---they are smoked, not clear like I wanted, and now they are modified and can't be returned!!!
Not a really big deal, as my windshield has a light "smoked" tint to it anyways.
