Ice storms are more common in the south-south central-south west USA
where snow storms are relatively rare. When the air temp has been low
enough for long enough, outside things (like trees, power lines, etc.)
get cold enough that rain, sleet mist and such fall on them and almost
immediately freeze. Get the picture?? The ice will completely encase
whatever it's on. Thus, the "ice storm" you asked about. That term
may, however, be rather ambiguous since any ice that may be driven by
storm force winds would tend to be fine sleet and not big chunks, at
least that's this Arkansan's take on it. I've seen lots of these here.
It's the aftermath we see. It is stunningly beautiful to look at the
next day with the sun shining (like a wonderland of mirrors and lights)
yet incredibly destructive and disruptive to infrastructure, resources,
and daily life. I leave the AH in the garage...

G'day
Sorry I can't provide the definitive answer about the moulding fasteners
but I do have a question that someone may care to enlighten me on.
Living in Australia where in most areas it's open top motoring 356 days
of the year I am completely unfamiliar with what is meant by an ice
storm.
Can someone please tell me what happens? What causes it? What do you do?
I recall seeing a film some years back with Sigourney Weaver (Sigh!)
that was set in an ice storm, but no doubt it was all done with mirrors.

Gary,
While the BMC parts book does not specifically show the fasteners for
the
ends of the trim, it does indicate the following:
BN7: 5 tapped plates, 4 - 3/4 inch long screws, and 3 - 5/8 inch long
screws
BT7: 6 tapped plates and 9 screws
I'd go check my BT7 and see what fasteners are used, but due to the ice
storm, I'm not willing to walk out to my detached garage yet.
Ron
