[Tigers] Quarter Window Screws

[dave at munroe.ca]

Hi Terry:

I just finished restoring my hard top, and the 1/4 window frame rails were riveted together with steel rivets.

I have no way of knowing if the rivets were installed at the factory, but everything did look original.

I put them back together with rivets, and they do look pretty good.

Thanks Jim. As I'm just starting this project the parts references are sure to
come in handy. I found another Alpine parts list which includes a nice
breakdown of hardtop parts including the quarterlight windows. Unfortunately,
it doesn't itemize the 3 window frame rails or the screws used to assemble
them.  It's starting to seem likely those screws won't appear in any of the
parts lists. 

So if anybody in Tigerland has replaced a hardtop quarterlight
glass and has already ID'd the two sizes & types of screws used to assemble
the window frame, your input would be greatly appreciated!

*******************

Each frame has 3 rails which surround the window, which
are joined at 
each corner with two types of screws. The rail which carries
the hinge 
requires 4 screws entirely inside the rail. They are slotted
flat-head 
countersunk screws with a course sheet-metal-like thread. The other
8 
screws are visible on the outside of the window frames and so are 
slotted
oval-head countersunk machine screws. They appear to have been 
chromed
originally. Both types of screws are quite small - about #4. But neither
matches the #4/40 pitch of the fasteners my hardware store 
carries.

See the list
attached for all hardware
 
Might be helpful to print off the list and search
the MSC online catalog 
with it
 
Buy only stainless ! That's what Gary Fish
and I did.
 
BTW: correct Star Lock Washers were sometimes impossible to find.
 
Be prepared to buy 100 of each........
