Windshield frame???

I put a stainless hinge on my windshield frame. I was going to use nutserts in the cowl and screw it on. Then I saw these special screws that we use on metal door hinges. They have a standard countersink head but half the head is undercut so it works real good on thin metal. I think the screw is a 12/ 24

I believe I used panheads. My pattern was staggered so that they don't lay on each other.

Are you still able to use weather striping with the pan?

12 / 24 they look like this. They are undercut . this allows the screw to be pulled up tight when used in sheetmetal
