I used a different method that worked well for me. My inner bows are
3/8 square aluminum tubing bent to shape. I attached the 3 tubes by slipping
them over a short piece of 1/4 chromemoly welded to the front fire wall bow,
then 3 U brackets I welded to the forward carry through spar and finally 3
more Ubrackets attached to the top tube where the fabric terminates. I
arranged the rear brackets in such a way that the plexy is flush with the
top fabric. I use a strip of aluminum as a cllamp at the rear of the
windsheild.
The square tubing is drilled appro. every 8 inches and is fitted with
rivnuts for 10-32 stainless screws. The windshed is drilled and countersunk
for the machine screws. The side angle bows are drilled and then dimpled to
accomodate the countersink. ( I used a shrinker to form the curve.) In the
center of the windsheild, I used countersunk washers painted black to blend
with the dark windsheild. Using this technique allowed me to drill larger
holes in the plexi to allow for expansion without stress. The countersunk
screws give a nice smooth finished appearance from outside. The forward part
of the windsheild is retained by a lip bent on top of the SS firewall.

Ron, how about an update on your engine? Are you still
using the Subaru? And are you building the second
Tailwind now? RJ

RJ,
Second is well on its way. This time I am usingthe stock fuel injection
system instead of the carb and distributor I used the lat time. It is also a
trigear.
I promised pictures but the photographer has not made the disc yet. I
don't have a digital camera so I depend on others.
