<div dir="ltr"><div>When I replaced the plexiglass in my Bugeye side screens, I used superglue to glue the handles 20 years ago. Still holding. When I bought the plexiglass to use as a replacement I also bought a long "bar" of plastic the same size as the original "handles". I just cut two handles off to length and polished the sharp edges and glued them on.I can see where the drill and tap method would work too, just more work though. That being said, I hardly ever use the sidescreens here in SoCal. In fact the top is just about never up.<br></div><div>Mike MacLean<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Mar 27, 2022 at 10:37 AM Nelson Wittstock via Spridgets <<a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<div>I wasn’t confident in using super glue to attach my handles so I drilled
and tapped for set screws instead. I used a bottoming tap so the holes
that I tapped would not go completely through. The were countersunk on the
outside so nothing would stand proud of the surface.<img title="Side curtain front" style="border-color: currentcolor; border-style: none; border-width: 0px; background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px;" alt="Side curtain front" src="cid:17fcceed0a52d50862e1" width="644" height="408" border="0"><img title="Side curtain handle rear" style="border-color: currentcolor; border-style: none; border-width: 0px; background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px;" alt="Side curtain handle rear" src="cid:17fcceed0a685c6c0782" width="569" height="484" border="0"></div>

<div>I had seen this type of attachment on an old Ferrari and figured if it is
good enough for one of those then it work on a “lowly” Sprite. BTW I used
my small milling machine to ensure that the holes would match up.</div>
