 Posted: Sat May 02, 2015 9:27 am Post subject: Windshield fairing & clips |
 |
|
Getting ready to pull the trigger on putting the front windshield in. As I'm going thru the plans I'm wondering how far up the windshield the fairing will overlap the plex? According to the "tangent" the plans show extending to the door lower glass that would put it up about 3" or more riding the plexiglass. At least that's the way I'm interpreting the instructions. Also in photos I've seen of the black tint on the strip of windscreen I haven't seen the clips showing, how do you hide the clips so they are not seen? Do you lay black epoxy/fiberglass before the clips are put on? Or simply paint black the strip first? Do you let black epoxy strip dry first before installing clips? Confused.

I went to a local boating supply house and got some epoxy dye (black) and mixed that in with the faring epoxy. That worked quite well. All the fiberglass went on as black due to the dye.
Be sure to get epoxy dye (it is a very thick liquid - very potent) and not powdered carbon which is a no-no on aluminum.
I seem to recall painting the clips black. Although I seem to recall that they were low enough on the windscreen that they aren't really visible.
I am sure someone else on the list can provide better guidance on the clips.
Cheers
Les
