Windscreen

How should the windscreen frame be attached to the supports: salf tappers? Rivets?

Drilled and tapped. Kintetic Vehicles can show you what to do. I had to ditch his frame (costly as it was) because it was too narrow and looked "bad". I ordered one from GBS, and with Mango's help, put it together.

I do them with captive studs that are flush inside and have a dome on the outside.

Thanks for all the help. I guess as long as I miss the glass it doesn't really matter. I'll measure the uprights and frame tomorrow. I bought them from danozeman and I think they came from GBS
