Windshield assembly

Post by ammoboot » Fri Nov 21, 2014 10:11 am

I'm reassembling the windshield after the previous owner took it apart to have some welding done. I have a repro sheet metal 'plate' to replace the missing (rusted out) original. Should this be welded in place or do the bolts of the windshield catches hold it in place? Thanks. :)

I believe the top and bottom tube where the "skin" is attached were spot welded.
