<div dir="ltr">Interesting setup Nelson. I have glued lexan/plexyglass terrariums with my students for as long as I've been teaching and the adhesive works great. However your handles look very sharp and sporting unique. Please update with a completed photo.<div><br></div><div>Speaking about our plexyglass replacement for our side screens. Our dear friend Frank Clarici popped mine in seconds after I cut them by hand and sanded but just couldn't get them in. He was a true master and I only wish I had met him sooner as well as he lived longer of course. His encouragement to instill confidence in each and everyone of us will live throughout our lives and hopefully we all pass it to the next generation as kindly as he did.</div><div><br></div><div>In honor and memory of the Dean of all Spridgets,</div><div>Linda</div><div>62 California Sprite "Pinky"</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Mar 27, 2022 at 1:37 PM Nelson Wittstock <<a href="mailto:k8djc@zoominternet.net">k8djc@zoominternet.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color: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: 0px; background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px;" border="0" alt="Side curtain front" src="cid:18018685ee12d50862e1" width="644" height="408"><img title="Side curtain handle rear" style="border: 0px; background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px;" border="0" alt="Side curtain handle rear" src="cid:18018685ee185c6c0782" width="569" height="484"></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>
