Thread size - windshield frame screws?
I am in the prosess of restoring the windshield on my 1930 A coupe and have run into a snag. The 90 degree corner braces that fit into the corners need their threads chased in order to install new screws. Can anyone tell me the size and thread count for the tap I need?
8x32 is too small and 10x32 has too many threads. Thanks in advance, Steve |

Maybe 10-24?

Re: Thread size - windshield frame screws?
My research on the A-79405 windshield (for the 82-A, 79-A, and 85-A) show that the A-37156 angle used two 10-32 x 3/8 flathead screws.
You could call Snyder's and ask for details on their fasteners (https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/P...ndshield-parts). They are good at providing information in my experience.

In restoring my Tudor I’ve found Henry liked 10-24 thread size and can be purchased through restoration supply houses.

I found the windshields on the 4 enclosed cars I have used 10-32 screws. also most other #10 screws on these cars are 10-32.
