[Mgs] Windscreen replacement

[Paul Hunt]

I *think* they are 3/8" by 1 1/8" or 1 1/4" coarse thread, but the easiest 
thing is to use one of the ones that has come out as a pattern.  Also easy 
enough to grind a point on a standard bolt of a suitable length, but the 
correct bolts are available from the usual suspects anyway.

The big problem is going to be removing the broken stud, at least enough to 
get the screen out.  If the bolt goes through a plain hole in the packing 
piece first, and then into thread in the frame legs, you should only need to 
drill through the packing piece to remove the frame, then you can attack the 
threaded part on the bench where you will be able to get to both sides.  But 
I also seem to recall (car not handy) that there is a cover panel on the 
outside of the frame legs visible when the door is open, which if removed 
may give access to the thread from the other side to apply releasing fluid 
or heat.
