Dave,
Here's the best I could come up with for the windshield screws. I think you told me it was for Eric's (clarkbar) classic? They are stainless round head Phillips. I wire brushed them but buffing will make them look loke chrome. These are #10 and I think would be too big a diameter. Your sample looked more like a #8. Measuring will tell. Double check because I have just under a box of 100 of these. The length could be cut. Mcmaster if theses don't work. You need nuts too. I'd go with stainless acorns.  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Those are the best I've been able to find so far as well. The Cuda we picked up was in pieces and a couple of the windshield screws were missing. The original screws appear to me to be aluminum and are unlike any others I have seen. I think if you shine those SS screws up, they will look worse as they will stick out more. These are for the center strip, correct?
Chelle, I hope you have yours in a safe place. They're as rare as the windshield. ------------- |

Is this for the center bar Pete,Dave or Eric?
I used 10/32 button cap screws,put them in a drill press and cut them down with a dremel cut off wheel and then polished them up.I then used aluminium lock nuts just like original  Let me know if you need some,I had to buy a box------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Thanks Bruce,it was the best I could come up with. The originals are chrome plated brass carriage bolts and the squares rounded off when I took the windshield apart. For some reason my cameras pictures are terrable tonight. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

I had similar camera troubles last week and had to break out the book, This is what helped me thru it..... Select Macro Mode – Macro mode is generally symbolized with a little flower and when selected it will tell your camera that you want to focus on a subject closer to your lens than normal (the minimum distance allowed will vary from camera to camera – consult your instruction manual to find yours). Macro mode will also usually tell your camera to choose a large aperture so that your subject is in focus but the background is not.

I agree with Bruce after seeing the button head hex socket however, the hex head isn't appropriate for the age/vintage! I'm serious!! A judge would catch that right away. Gary and Bruce you may never show your boat but who knows?? I believe Eric is going "as close as possible".------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

No offence Pete the only way my boat would get into a real boat show is if I took a wrong turn. Been there and done that with my MG and got tired of that real fast. Do you think a judge would notice my windshield came off a '64 and not a '69 ? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Gary, thanks, I'll keep that in mind when I get to that point on the Cuda, but it will be awhile. I call it a long term project which horrifies my kids because it's taken 3 years to almost get the Mustang done. When I say "long term project" my youngest reminds me that I will be in my 60s in 10 years. If only I could quit my day job.
Pete, maybe so, but what do you do? I'm familiar with the screws because I took apart or put together 3 of those windshields last year. Unfortunately, the Cuda is missing some and they and the caps seem pretty unusual so far. Gary, you should never have put that info out there on the web about your 64 windshield. It's now been recorded and documented forever.  ------------- |

Bruce, You get as close to the original as possible. Certain items are no longer available and judges do know this. Using a Phillips head is appropriate because other trim srews used the same but never a socket head hex. Sorry Gary!!
Gary, BTW, I spotted the windshield in the very first picture I saw of your boat!  (you know I've never "worked you over" for it ether!!!)------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Dont jump to conclusions now, Pete- it *appears* as though Gary has another new windshield on his boat. What he is showing above looks to be a 2-piece, not the shorter one-piece that he put on a little while back. Whats the story Gary? If Im right- whats next? Putting in an original bucket for the observer seat? Finding a floor pan? ------------- |

Yeah, these screws will be all we can use, as those little "Pin head" carrage bolts must have been custom made.... Chrome headed as shown here works for me...
