Windshield hold down catch

Post by Big44maghunter » Mon May 03, 2021 10:31 am

Hello, Hopefully an easy question. I have a 42 GPW and need to add the hold down catch to the top of the windshield for when it is in the laid down position on the hood. Are these the correct type? Also, how are they attached? Screwed into the tube or bolted through? Thanks!

Yes, they lok the correct type. They are fastened to the top tube by countersunk srews. The screws are the same type that are used for fixing the windscreen catches to the bottom of the screen. Ron, has them.
