Thread: I'm stumped, need help

Tweet

I'm trying to finish off a last few things so I can paint my body and I've been putting off this one for a long time cause I just can't seem to come up with anything.

On my '31 Model A the tops of the doors have some trim that go across to hold the glass in place, it has to be removable to get the window in or out. All three screws are broke off in the plate and are too small to use an easy out, and I don't really want to break one off in there as well. I thought I could just put in a nutsert but there is only 1/4" on each end and 3/16" on the center one. I can't even run a tap in the old plate with so little room.

Here's some pictures, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean



hhhhhhhmmmmmmmm......As I was typing this I just thought I could use pop rivets and if I need to replace the window I can drill it out. Any better ideas?
