Glass Wind Wings
On the open highway, I run my 30 roadster at about 55+ mph but I guess the design of the repro wind wing brackets (2 clamps & a rubberized material) will not handle the resulting wind pressure on the wind wing glass at those speeds. Today, I lost another one on the highway and I didn't even bother stopping to look for the pieces.
I need to solve this problem. With new glass again, I'll drill & tap the four inner clamps for a 8-32 ss set screw. Then with an appropriate diamond drill size, drill a clearence hole thru the glass to then secure them with 8-32 x 1/2" ss set screws. This should lock the glass in.
Any thoughts or comments? John
