I have disassembled my TR3 windshile frame which included removing the Tenax
fastners. I fou8nd that in addition to the two that were missing some more
were epoxied in. I know there was a thread just the other week about this and
the concensus was to use the through-the-frame fasteners and this is a viable
solution but since I am about to take the parts to be chrome plated I have the
opportunity to fix this in a way that I can avoid that since these may run
afoul of the glass.
Has anyone repaired these holes suitable for retapping. I think the frame is
made of brass. If so then perhaps it is possible to build up a bead of solder
and tap that. Remember that these will go to the plater so any subtle
cosmetic damage can be repaired.
Thanks in advance.
