Windshield Prep – Part 1

Began prepping the windshield components for paint and final assembly by updrilling and deburring the windshield skirt. Enlarged fuel door hole and installed Southco receptacle for fuel door fastener with flush rivets. Then updrilled windshield bow skirt and scotchbrited. Updrilled windshield bow holes with #36 drill bit then tapped for 6-32 screws perpendicular to the surface. Removed protective film from the outside edges of the windshield and updrilled windshield holes with specialty 9/64″ plastic drill bit. Deburred holes then ran drill bit through once more to clear holes of plastic. Tested slightly loose fit with screws and reamed holes as necessary.
