Step 11Attaching the legs
Attaching Legs:
There are several ways to attach the legs (angle) to the windscreen (flashing):
a) binding posts & screws: made of aluminum, lightweight but increased costs.
3/16" is long enough but be sure to get the longer screws.
Can be bought at hardware stores and some office supply stores.
post & screw = $0.53, weight = <0.1 oz
b) machine bolts & nuts: strong but heavier, use a washer to prevent tear out.
I recommend #10x1/2".
bolt, washer, nut = $0.15, weight = 0.1 oz
c) rivets: very inexpensive, lightweight, but requires rivet tool.
rivet ~$0.00, weight = ~0.0 oz
