Bought a tall windscreen a few years ago, used it for a short time and wasn't sure that I liked it. Now, I want to give it another chance, but I can't find the hardware for the lower holes. Anyone out there have those fasteners laying around gathering dust? Thanks!

I have a set. Do you need all 4? Let me double check, but I ordered a full set from Al and never used them.

Jason, when I bought the windscreen it had two of the plastic nipples installed in the top holes and came with machine screws, washers and threaded rubber plugs for the bottom holes. I saw what Al had, and those are just the plastic nipples that come on the short stock screen. So, do you have the screw in ones?
Thanks, Jeff

There are bigger or more wide on the stem of the nipples, those were a revised version, but for sure the one with the screw is the way to go.

Also talking about tall screens any one has used a Gustafson one? as they don't come predrilled (like ZG) and when i got mine while drilling it cracked and split any one has managed to use and drill it?

Thanks

77, there are special bits for acrylic. They have a steeper angle at the tip to prevent cracking.

I see, but i wonder if they will drill up to 9,5 mm that is the aproximate size for our bikes.

77, metric might be hard to find, but here's a 5/16" that might work with some reaming to enlarge the hole, or you should be able to find a 3/8".

Thought maybe I could persuade someone to give up their hardware, with a trade for some custom inserts for their luggage.
