Windshield done!

 The windshield frame comes apart.. With one slight problem.  The passenger side held water.  Thus the angle bracket screws were rusted in place.

So the job of doom begins...

Original triplex glass... Headed for the dumpster. Last on the road 1990 btw...

The offending bracket. The two thru the lower rail screws rusted in situ. Drilled the heads off of them.  Then one of the side screw heads stripped so with a little wiggling the bracket broke the head off of it.

So you're thinking dang, now I have to pay $45 for a frigging piece of steel. I refuse.  After finding the back side of the threads they were drilled out with a small bit, then for tapping it was drilled with an 11/64" bit and tapped w a 10-32. The tap and die set paid for itself just with this project!

Now about the pesky screw in the side rail

So here's what I tried, welding a screw to the broken part- worked but wouldn't extract.
So that got ground down and center punched and driled for a 10-32, that didn't work.  So I jumped to a 13/64 bit and tapped it for a 1/4-20. Couple hours total, but I'm ready to start putting the windshield back together.👍

Sorry about not having pics of the in between wrestling match , but here it is... Hasn't cracked yet.  Glass from Victoria British ( unknown origin) fit pretty well.
Took  about 3 hours and about 1.5 of that was wrestling the little upper bars into position to get screws in.  After it settles down I have some windshield sealant to put on and the lower body gasket which is supposed to be just as bad.
