WTB want to buy windshield tension brackets and knobs
Looking for the verticle spring loaded windshield retaining brackets that hold the frame when folded down. They mount between the headlamp and the grille. I also need a set of knobs that secure the frame when the windshield is raised upright.
I dont need the headlamp guards with the rubber footballs as I dont want to get into filling holes and repainting. I have an idea to fab a stop.
Scott at EI thought he had some but hasnt responded to emails or phone messages. SAV hasnt had any and buypinz Bob doesnt have a set but might have a lead.
Thanks

Re: WTB want to buy windshield tension brackets and knobs
If you are going to fabricate your own supports for the windshield then I would suggest fabricating the hold down mechanism as well since they need to work together and it is not that fancy of a part.
As far as the knobs go - I've seen nice one with the puch logo on them - but you might be able to find something similar (without the logo) from a source like McMaster-Carr supply or similar.
You also might check with some of the European parts suppliers such as Haflingertechnic etc.

Here is the Steyr # for the Knobs with the Puch logo 7111721182 (fixing screw).
They are special order only as far as I remember.

They also don't fit into a Swiss - you will have to drill and tap the existing holesJim LaGuardia wrote:Here is the Steyr # for the Knobs with the Puch logo 7111721182 (fixing screw).

They are direct fit on the Swiss units, I have put them on several trucks in the past.
Re: WTB want to buy windshield tension brackets and knobs
Thank you allnfor the info. I have sent emails requesting the parts, we will see whats still available.
If the knobs dont fit, I own a tap set

Re: WTB want to buy windshield tension brackets and knobs
I did have to drill and tap, maybe I had a unique frame or set of knobs.
Re: WTB want to buy windshield tension brackets and knobs
Found a set of knobs ( CWR ) and still on the hunt for the inner brackets and the outer hinged pieces or I may have to fab something.
