Unknown Part - 1924
In going through labeled bolts/nuts from the disassembly of my 1924 Touring, I cannot seem to recall where this part came from. It was in a bag of bolts marked Cowl/Dash. The piece is steel and measures 1 1/2" by 1/2" by 1/4" thick and is threaded to accept the threads on the screw shown. Can someone identify this for me? Thanks

Re: Unknown Part - 1924
How about a windshield stanchion screw (to dash) and a bar to hold it? The lower screw would use a nut but the upper is difficult to put a nut on.
When did I do that?

Re: Unknown Part - 1924
Richard is correct. On my '24, both screws had a nut plate like that and the plates were a different length (I put the long one on top).

Re: Unknown Part - 1924
So are there supposed to be two, one for each stanchion?

Re: Unknown Part - 1924
Yes, one for each side of the stanchion to dash panel, on the lower machine screw. The gap at the dash is very tight and a wrench cannot be used, so that long length nut is a 'jam' and 'spacer' nut, (Part # 1307RX. {23-25}), fits into the gap and resists moving as you tighten the oval head screw.
The upper screw can use a normal nut as a wrench can fit there with ease.

Re: Unknown Part - 1924
As I recall, those are for the dash. The short one on the bottom, and the long one on top. They are not for the windshield posts.

Re: Unknown Part - 1924
I'll eat my words. They are more the the dash, however they do attach to to the windshield posts. I should have thought about this more before I posted. The short one on the bottom, the long one on top.

Re: Unknown Part - 1924
Original, are there two for each windshield stanchion? One short and one long?

Re: Unknown Part - 1924
I don't have time to go through all the boxes of NOS parts I have! All you need is a sample of each. They would be quite easy to make.

Re: Unknown Part - 1924
Here are the dimensions of the last two NOS nuts I have. They can be easily made.
Long: 1 1/2" X 7/16" X 1/4". Short 1" X 7/16" X 1/4". Both are threaded 1/4-20. Oval head slotted screws are used.
