Lexan install question
I'm in the proccess of installing Lexan windows on my duece. I got all the info needed and it looks pretty easy. The only thing I'm getting mixed info on is how to secure the window to the car. Do you use rivets, bolts, sheet metal screws and what size? Please post what you have used and what works the best.
Thanks Also, do you think I will need a center support down the center of the front windshield from top to bottom to keep the lexan from bowing inward at top speed? |
Use countersunk screws and countersink washers. I would recommend a center support, it's easier to do it now then to have to redo it later.

keep the glass and put a 13B in there. much easier ad you will net better results :)

Allen, are you using bolts with nylock nuts or sheet metal screws?

You might want to use 3/16 on the windshield and 1/8 on the other windows. Center brace will keep the wind from pushing the winshield in.
I used pop rivets but to each there own. http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g1...7/DSC00002.jpg |

I'm not worried about water since I'm never going to drive this car in the rain but was wondering if vibration and cracking would be an issue? |
If you use lexan it wont break and no i didnt use anything in between.
Good luck. |
