Redstang69,
I used a layer or two of tape, used a mechanical center punch then drilled slowly through the windshield arm. I also tapped the hole for the I believe a 10/24 screw and used a nyloc nut to lock it all down. Didn’t notice if you had visors but if and when you put them on, suggestion, I used stainless square nuts and put a bevel on them so they would slide in the top channel of the windshield, trimmed the screws as not to protrude too far into the channel when tightened, then a small vacuum hose to fill in the channel. Doing it that way saves one the stress of drilling or chasing the existing holes in the frame for the visors going to far and possibly cracking the glass…as well as using too long of screws.
