Stainless steel Windshield hinge
« on: February 23, 2013, 07:13:41 AM »
I would like to get some opinions on fasteners to bolt, screw or pop rivet a new stainless steel Windshield hinge in place. I do not want to weld it.
Please give your opinions I'm open for anything and if possible some pictures.

Rev used stainless rivets on his and said it worked out well.

Rivet nuts or posts might also be an option.  They are available in a number of different configurations and would give you a way to remove the windshield, if that's what you're trying to acheive. I've not had my windshield off.  So, I don't know if this would work in this particular application. But since Rev was able to use rivets, they might would work for you.

You will need something completely flat because there is no room in between the two half's of the hinge when it's closed.

I was thinking about the rivets but i think stainless countersunk bolts like this will work.
