Dennis,

We're spending our afternoons doing the exact same thing. I'm equally
confused about things. I'm planning on attaching everything to the
windshield and stanchions and bolt the whole thing on. My reasoning is that
you were supposed to be able to remove the windshield to use the racing
screens, so it's gotta be someone manageable that way.

I've got little brackets that attach the tennon plates to the stanchion.
Then I've got these little corner plate things that I haven't figured out
what to do with yet. If I figure this out this afternoon, I'll let you know.
