I'm about to reinstall the windscreen and would like to solve an issue I have.
When I drilled the roll-bar, I did not look properly at the manual and mistooked, enlarging the holes to #30 instead of #27 to accept a #6 screw thread.
Threads now are done, but screws are a little loose on them. I don't want them to unscrew once airplane will be completed.
So, in order to fix the problem, I thaught at:
- enlarging holes on roll bar and windscreen to accept #8 screws (preferred solution at the moment);
- welding roll bar holes and redrilling them to #27 (but...it might be difficult to drill on a welded point);
- leave all as it is and use a lock-threader sealant.
May you please help me with the decision?
Thanks.
