Fitting screen

[mickter]

Having a screen made and am fitting direct to console, will wrap around the sides 2in for rigidity,no metal.
just wondered what to use ie;bolts or s/tappers,what washers (metal or plastic)
also anything between screen and console.
all help greatly appreciated .Cheers Mick.

No expert but for me i used double sided 3mm foam gasket to stick in place and give a little cushioning ,then i used st st m5 instrument heads tapped into the console ,maybe better option might be number plate plastic screws and nuts ?

bit awkward using double sided,not sure plastic fixings will be strong enough.

plastic number plate bolts are a popular option .or what i did was used rubber well nuts with stainless button head allen bolts m5 i think i used

same as last posting for me

M6 socket dome bolts with a tap washer or nylon washer between screen n consol that little gap allows water. N dirt to fall through. Also tap washer seals the fixing hole

Trust me I've fitted more than most and made hundreds

I used to use number plate screws but altered my method
