[TR] tenax windshield posts

[Kinderlehrer]

My frame didn't have any holes on the inside, but one or two of the holes on t
he outside were too big, or out of shape, to hold th e stud - is that the
situation you are facing? My solution was to use a "nutter" thing which works
much like a pop-rivet but inserts a molly like threaded sleeve. The inserts
are available in aluminum and steel. I got mine at JC Whitney eons ago, but I
have seen them at Harbor Freight among others. I also used itB in a few
locations whereB  the lift-a-dot stud was supposed to screw into wood but the
wood was having no more of it. Anyway, that was a number of years ago and it
is holding up fine. Just a suggestion.

Those were actually original equipment, on the aluminum frames. B Someone may
have drilled your frame for them to repair the original (damaged) holes
(which is exactly what I'm planning to do, although I'll only do two holes).

TRF has beautiful reproductions (but they aren't cheap).
