Windshield screw set-323-918

[Skip Kelsey]

Some time ago there was a thread of he windscreen screw set supplied by Moss for the T series windscreen. There have been many complaints on some or all of the screws being too long, and as such several windscreens have been cracked by screwing the afor mentioned screws in too far. I have been going round and round with Moss about this problem. Harry Haig at Moss will not look into it unless I can give him the correct length vs. the ones they sell now. Some one on the list gave an attachment giving this info. Would they please send it too me, so I can get this problem solved. Thanks: Skip Kelsey........................................................

hi Skip - I don't have a windscreen on my car, which means it is up in the barn somewhere, with no glass in, so can easily check it out for you. But a simple "thought experiment" tells me that the length should not be much more than the thickness of the corner brackets, which I would guess at 3/16" (have not looked at one for years), plus a bit for the outer frame. Since the shortest length in the catalogue I use is 1/4", that would not crack the glass! cheers TCRoger
