Colin, Do you have a repair in mind? If so,what is it and is it truly "pot" metal? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

It's the side brackets for the 60's split windshields. This isn't mine but a picture from the site.

Colin, Is your bracket broken or are you just wanting to remove pits? If pitted, a good plater can remove pits. BTW, it's not pot metal but rather a zine die casting. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

| It's cracked where the rear screw is. Also pitted but I knew the plater could fix that. |

Don't know anything about that Chris but when Cousin Donald was just starting out in the early 80's that was his stage name I believe. I'm sure he can fill us in on all the lurid details. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

I don't feel the Muggyweld repair will do much for strength with it having such a low melting point. Give it a try but, if you do plan on sending it to the platter, talk to him first since it may not plate very well. Wasn't a member fabricating some out of brass not long ago? That sure would be the route I'd go. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

It's worth a try. Says on their web site that it is plate able. No strength is needed for that part,it is nothing more than a trim piece to cover the windshield end. You can also see how I ran the lower gasket and used the thru bolt to keep it from sliding back from under the trim like the one in the last pic   ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

| Thanks for the tips. The pictures help a lot. My window frame is also broken. I have found someone that can weld the piece back on. Those brackets looks great. Hope I can a get that out of mine. |

Gary, You are close but back in the 80's when I was a younger Chippendale some of the ladies would call me HOT POCKETS !!!! Then they would lick their Lips. The rest we can not talk about on a family friendly web-site.  When Quinner goes out on Saturday nights looking for a date he calls it POT LUCK   . We also can not speak about that on a family friendly web-site. As far as Colin's question goes, I am a worker of female flesh not a metal worker.
