Richard:
I had to drill out the screws on a couple of mine. Find the center of the
screw head and using a punch of some sort tap a center mark that it deep
enough that the drill bit will stay true. Starting with a small bit, drill
down in through the center of the screw. Continue this by increasing the
drill bit size until you have drilled out the screw. You may need to retap
the threads a bit just to be sure you have all off the old screw out.
Worked fine for me.

Subject: removing TR3 windshield stanchion
Progress is chugging along on TS62xxx. Fenders are
off, all captive nuts are ground off (it's fun to
watch the concours bunch cringe when I say this),
front apron is removed and I've got most of the dirt
and debris vacuumed out. I'm working on windshield now
and find all of the slotted nuts holding stanchions to
scuttle do not want to let go.
