Windshield Install

Post by Mac »

I have a Champ project that I purchased as a big pile of parts. "The giant jigsaw puzzle" as the neighbor told me. Since it was disassembled when I bought it I don't know how the windshield is installed. I know there is a windshield retainer on the cowling but I don't know what they look like and I can't find one shown on the manual. Any help out there?

The number you are looking for: Left side 7-487L 1ea. The Right side
is 7-487R 1ea. If I may give a little input on installing. When riveting the retainers to the boot cowl, use AN470A-4 rivets...not the AD ones. I found the numbers in the L-16A/B parts manual.
Best of luck
