I am trying to remove the windscreen stanchions on my 60 3A. First issue is that the large slotted head machine screws (?) are frozen. I think there is little advice that the list can offer in that r

Yes, they are Dzus fasteners and will not come out. They are captive to the windshield frame. The mating part of the fastener is attached to an aluminum block that is attached to the sheetmetal so th

Machine screws. I could be wrong, but it's my recollection that you can see the inside end of the screws, by standing on the back of your neck under the dash. You could try some PB Blaster from ther

My impression was that the Dzus fasteners were used so that the screen could be removed easily and replaced with Aero screens. In fact, according to my official shop manual, TR2s came with the mounti

Once again S-T "improved" something without notifying me. On the other hand the Dzus blocks on the early models can be equally difficult to remove - which they must be before going into the dip tank

On TS81417L, they are slot head machine screws. I think the Dzus ones took the square headed tool. A large drill bit removed the head, after which the stanchions came off easily. The remaining protru

Windscreen stanchions are Dzus on pre TS60K cars, and machine screws on Post 60K cars. A 1960 TR3 should be machine screws. If you stand on your head, you might get lucky enough to have some penetrat

The Dzus on the pre-60000 windscreens have a slot head, usually use a big screw driver. In theory you could turn them with a dime but you'd need a grip like Superman. Geo == This list supported in pa
